Syrian security arrested three people involved in the Tadamon massacre that took place in the southern neighborhood of Damascus in April 2013, the state-run news agency reported on Monday.
Lieutenant Colonel Abdul Rahman al-Dabbagh, Director of Damascus Security, stated "After monitoring and following up, one of the criminals responsible for the Tadamon massacre was arrested."
Initial investigations with the criminal, we reached several people who had participated in the massacre and we arrested two of them.
The three detainees confessed to their involvement in committing massacres in the Tadamon neighborhood, in which more than 500 men and women were liquidated.
The footage of Tadamon's massacre, posted by the Guardian on April 27, 2022, was unsteady at first, before it closed in on a freshly dug pit in the ground between the bullet-pocked shells of two buildings. An intelligence officer he knew was knelt near the hole’s edge in military fatigues and a fishing hat, brandishing an assault rifle and barking orders.
The video was date-stamped 16 April 2013.
When the killing was done, at least 41 men lay dead in the mass grave in the Damascus suburb of Tadamon, a battlefront at the time in the conflict between the Syrian leader and insurrectionists lined up against him. Alongside piled heaps of dirt that would soon be used to finish the job, the killers poured fuel on the remains and
.ignited them, laughing as they literally covered up a war crime just several miles from Syria’s seat of power
