Lattakia, Jan.28 (SANA) The Internal Security Directorate in Lattakia arrested Ali Aziz Sbeira, one of the most prominent leaders of terrorist cells involved in attacks targeting internal security checkpoints and the Syrian army.
The Ministry of Interior announced via its Telegram channel that “following a precise monitoring and tracking operation, the Internal Security Directorate in Lattakia successfully apprehended Ali Aziz Sbeira, a native of Jableh, who is considered one of the leading figures behind terrorist cells targeting internal security and army positions, as well as arming other terrorist groups. He is directly linked to the criminals Ghiyath Dalla and Brigadier General Nours Makhlouf.”
The ministry stated that initial investigation findings confirmed his involvement in a series of violations against civilians during the era of the deposed regime.
