Rebels Nab Assad's Sednaya Torture In-Charge, Iran Rejects 'Baseless' Claims Of Syria Interference

Syria's new authorities arrested Mohammed Kanjo Hassan, a former military official who issued death sentences at Sednaya prison. Hassan, arrested after deadly clashes in Tartus, is the highest-ranking officer detained since President Bashar al-Assad's ouster. Additionally, Syria's new rulers appointed Anas Hassan Khattab, a former Al-Qaeda commander, as head of the intelligence agency. Meanwhile, tensions have risen with protests against an Alawite shrine's destruction, leading to clashes. Iran denied interfering in Syria's internal matters, while the Gulf Cooperation Council emphasized Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
