Aleppo rebels replace the prisoners by son of Mamlouk

  .

 Aleppo rebels released recently the son of Ali Mamlouk, head of the Syrian national security in a deal to replace the prisoners.

 The war-college student was arrested months ago when the college became under control of rebels.

 Mamlouk was one of the founders of the Syrian Aerial Intelligence, where he held significant roles, including deputy head. He was formally the head of the General Security Directorate.  In July 2012 following the Damascus security HQ bombing, Mamlouk became the head of the National Security Bureau.

 On 11 August 2012, Lebanon indicted Ali Mamlouk in absentia and former Lebanese Information Minister Michel Samaha for their alleged plots to assassinate Lebanese political and religious figures. Lebanese judicial officials issued a warrant for Mamlouk's arrest on 4 February 2013.
