Syria&s interim president Ahmed Sharaa said mass killings of members of ousted president Bashar al-Assad&s minority sect were a threat to his mission to unite the country, and promised to punish those responsible, including his own allies if necessary.

Syria has suffered its worst bloodshed since Bashar al-Assad was toppled from power, with more than 1,000 people reported killed in violence that has swept the coastal region since Thursday.

Syria's leader vowed on Sunday to hunt down the perpetrators of violent clashes pitting loyalists of deposed President Bashar al-Assad against the country's new Islamist rulers and said he would hold to account anyone who overstepped their authority.
