Syria’s Interior Ministry has announced the arrest of Taha al-Zoubi, a leading figure in the ISIS (also known as ISIL) group in the Damascus countryside, the country’s SANA news agency reported.
The report said a “tightly executed security operation” was carried out that led to the arrest of al-Zoubi, adding that “a suicide belt and a military weapon were seized in his possession”.
SANA quoted Brigadier General Ahmad al-Dalati, head of internal security in Damascus Countryside, as saying the raid targeted an ISIL hideout in Maadamiya, southwest of Damascus, and was carried out “in cooperation” with an anti-ISIL alliance that includes the US-led coalition fighting the group.
