Syrian authorities said Monday they have arrested two members of ISIS, accusing them of being behind December’s deadly bombing of a mosque in an Alawite area of the city of Homs.
In a statement, the interior ministry announced the arrest of “Ahmed Attallah al-Diab and Anas al-Zarrad, who belong to ISIS terrorist organization and are responsible for the bombing that targeted the Imam Ali Bin Abi Talib Mosque in the Wadi al-Dahab neighborhood.”
The Interior Ministry added, “The operation came after meticulous field surveillance and comprehensive monitoring, which led to the identification of their identities and location. Explosive devices, various weapons, and different types of ammunition were seized from them, along with documents and digital evidence proving their involvement in terrorist acts.”
The detainees were transferred to the Counter-Terrorism Department for further investigation, prior to their referral to the competent judiciary to take the necessary legal measures.
The ministry stressed that it will remain the strong shield for the people of the nation, protecting their security and stability, and relentlessly pursuing all terrorist elements to eliminate any threat to the safety of citizens.
