Damascus-based newspaper Al-Watan on Tuesday published a list that it said the Syrian government had sent to the United Nations Security Council last month giving the names and the dates and locations where the "terrorists" were killed.
"Most are jihadists (radical Islamists) who belong to al-Qaeda's network, or who joined it after arriving in Syria," the paper said, adding that they entered Syria via Turkey and Lebanon.
Among the 142 it named 47 Saudis, 24 Libyans, 11 Afghans, 10 Tunisians, nine Egyptians, six Qataris and five Lebanese.
The government is thought to have asked for the list be registered as an official document on the UN's agenda of "measures to combat international terrorism".
Sources at the Syrian Mission to the United Nation said they could not immediately confirm that they knew of the letter.
