Mario Nawfal(@MarioNawfal):🇸🇾 Syrian intelligence ARRESTED longtime pro-Assad militia leader Mihraç Ural as he tried to FLEE across the border. Also known as Ali Kayalı, he appeared in a Syrian courtroom after his capture. He is accused of planning the 2013 Reyhanlı bombings in Turkey, which killed 52, and leading the Baniyas massacres that killed hundreds. He fled Turkey in 1982, built a militia under Assad, and remained at large after the regime fell. Turkey has wanted him for over a decade. Now that Syria has a president on Turkey’s side, the old hideouts are closing. Writer: Lucas
