Syrian Forces Arrest Suspect in 2025 Ministry of Defense Attack

Syrian security forces have arrested a man accused of involvement in a major terrorist attack last year. Internal security personnel in Tartous province detained the individual, described as a "remnant of the deposed regime." Authorities allege he participated in attacks targeting the Ministry of Defense and security forces on March 6, 2025. The arrest was announced in an official statement on the security forces' Telegram channel. No further details about the suspect or the specific allegations were immediately provided. The term "deposed regime" is used by the current Syrian government to refer to pre-2011 rule. The March 2025 attacks were among the most significant reported breaches of security in the capital in recent years.
