Syria suspends ex-Republican Guard unit
Syrian authorities have managed to arrest a former senior officer in the Assad regime's army, one of the top leaders in the Republican Guard during Bashar al-Assad's rule. He was responsible for leading operations against areas that were under opposition control during the 13-year war. He participated in attacks on the cities of Aleppo, Daraa, and Eastern Ghouta, which were strongholds of the opposition. Reports suggest he played a direct role in chemical attacks, such as the 2013 Ghouta attack, which resulted in over 1,000 deaths using Sarin gas. These arrests are part of the new Syrian government's efforts to pursue former officials, following court rulings that sentenced Bashar al-Assad and his brother to death in absentia after the regime fled Syria. It is believed that Assad is currently residing in Russia.
