LONDON: Syrian authorities have arrested members of a Daesh cell in the Damascus Governorate as they intensify efforts to protect national security.
The Syrian Arab Republic’s Ministry of Interior announced on Tuesday that two members of a cell had been arrested — along with the seizure of multiple explosive devices and various weapons — in Jadidat Al-Shaybani, a village located in the Barada Valley.
The news follows Monday’s capture of two members of Daesh, who are accused of being behind the deadly bombing of a mosque in an Alawite area of Homs in December.
The Ministry of Interior announced the arrest of “Ahmed Attallah Al-Diab and Anas Al-Zarrad, who belong to the Daesh terrorist organization and are responsible for the bombing that targeted the Imam Ali bin Abi Talib Mosque in the Wadi Al-Dahab neighborhood (of Homs).”
