Sweida: Military Security arrests Militia Commander affiliated to Assad Army

Outrage has been sparkled in the Druze stronghold of Sweida province, after arresting a militia commander by Assad’s military security, the source said.

Nabil Ghabra, commander of the National Defence Army, pro-Assad militia, has been arrested in Qraya town, the birthplace of the historical Syrian figure, Sultan Pacha al-Atrash, who led the Syrian Revolution from 1925–1927.

NDA militants have threatened to give up fighting in the Assad side and more, to declared rebellion against his forces in Sweida.

Sweida has witnessed several pro-democracy protests since the Syrian uprising erupted in March 2011. While the movement remains marginal, it is charged with symbolism.
