Syria: Arrest of Ali Qaiyali, Bessa and Baniyas attacker
The Syrian authorities launched a campaign of arrests and apprehended Ali Kayali, known as "Meraaj Oural," who is accused of being responsible for the execution of hundreds of civilians in massacres in the towns of Bihla and Baniyas in 2013. These incidents are described as among the bloodiest since the start of the Syrian conflict. Kayali, born in 1956 in Hatay Province, Turkey, was leading an armed group loyal to Bashar Assad's regime and participated in combat alongside government forces before fleeing to Syria from a Turkish prison in 1982. He is also accused of planning bombings targeting the Reyhanli area in Turkey in 1982, which resulted in the death of 53 people, allegedly supported by Syrian intelligence. Following his escape from Turkey, he is now considered a wanted man. He was captured while attempting to cross the border illegally. This operation is part of the Syrian authorities' efforts to apprehend those responsible for massacres against civilians.
