Syrian Intelligence detains suspect in Baniyas massacre
Ali Kayali, popularly known as "Meraj Orel," the main suspect in the 2013 Baniyas massacre, was arrested while attempting to escape across the border, according to the Syrian News Agency SANA. Orel is known as a figure with a violent past; he was born in Turkey in 1956 and has publicly admitted to being a Syrian Arab. He participated in terrorist acts against the Turkish government before fleeing to Syria, where he joined the Syrian army. Subsequently, he became a leader of armed groups supporting Bashar al-Assad's regime during the Syrian revolution. He has been accused of committing horrific massacres, including the Baniyas neighborhood massacre in Baniyas and the Houla incident, crimes that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of civilians, earning him the nickname "The Butcher of Baniyas." Syrian security forces were able to arrest him after detaining his assistant, Jamil Tarablus, in a significant step towards delivering justice for these crimes.
