Popular committees in Jaramana give up fighting

 The security situation is more complicated in Jarmana, 10Km, southern Damascus, reliable source told Zaman Alwasl.

''Large numbers of the pro-Assad militia (Popular committees) in the city with Druze majority, had delivered back their weapons to Assad Army,'' the source said.

Analysts attributed that for many different reasons like Arresting Hussein Shoueib, Leader of Popular committees in Jarmana for unknown reasons.

After Shoueib arresting, the city witnessed the first clashes between Assad's forces and popular committees for the first time.

Activists reported many abuses by the committees like robbery and smuggling besides torturing citizens.

Others attributed that to financial problem where the popular committees didn't get their salaries while FSA source said to Zaman Alwasl that the progress of rebels in Damascus and its suburbs had raised a lot of fears among the popular committees of imminent revenge.
