Syrian authorities arrest suspect in Tadamon massacre

Syrian authorities have arrested Amjad Youssef, the main suspect in the 2013 Tadamon massacre that resulted in at least 41 deaths. Youssef, a former intelligence officer under Bashar al-Assad, was captured in a security operation in the Al-Ghab Plain, with footage showing him bloodied and handcuffed. He has been linked to a leaked video depicting him executing blindfolded civilians during the massacre. This arrest is part of a broader effort by Syria’s new government to hold former officials accountable for atrocities.
