The Interior Ministry said Wednesday on its Telegram channel that special units under the Internal Security Command in Latakia “had carried out a qualitative security operation based on precise monitoring and tracking,” which resulted in the capture of Shadi Adnan Agha, a former colonel and commander of the “Liwa al-Quds militia” Jerusalem Brigade during the era of the deposed regime.
According to the Ministry’s statement, initial investigations showed that Agha led several armed operations in different parts of the country, particularly in Aleppo Province, where he headed the operations room for the Nubl and al-Zahraa fronts.
The ministry said those operations caused civilian casualties as a result of systematic shelling carried out by forces under his command.
The criminal has been referred to the competent judicial authorities to complete investigations and face legal proceedings in accordance with Syrian law, the statement added.
