Syria holds 9 pilots over civilian bombings
The Syrian authorities announced the arrest of nine former pilots, including three generals, on charges of participating in bombing operations that resulted in a large number of casualties and widespread destruction during Bashar Assad's tenure. This move is part of a campaign to pursue former officials, which includes the detention of an officer subject to European sanctions for the killing of protesters in 2011, as well as court rulings against Bashar Assad and his brother over allegations of war crimes, including chemical attacks and bombing civilian areas between 2012 and 2017.
