By Johannes LEDEL Stockholm (AFP) - Un tribunal de Stockholm a acquitté jeudi un ancien général syrien accusé de crimes de guerre dans son pays en 2012, jugeant insuffisantes les preuves de son implication. Mohammed Hamo, âgé de 65 ans et vivant en Suède, a été jugé au printemps pour "complicité" de crimes de guerre entre janvier et juillet 2012. L'armée syrienne a bien commis des "attaques aveugles, contraires au droit international" dans un quartier de Homs (centre) et dans la ville d'Al Rastan en 2012 mais "aucune preuve" n'a été présentée pour démontrer que la 11e division de l'ancien géné...
