DAMASCUS: Syria’s government on Tuesday said its forces killed the leader of a cell linked to Daesh and arrested eight of its members believed to be behind a deadly attack on security personnel last week. Daesh claimed responsibility for Sunday’s shooting, which authorities had said killed four Syrian security personnel on patrol on the Maaret Al-Numan road in northwest Idlib province. Security forces “arrested a terrorist cell affiliated with Daesh” that carried out attacks “targeting security and military patrols in the Idlib and Aleppo provinces,” an interior ministry statement said.
