Assad militia detains opposition leader in Daraa

Assad regime’s militia detained on Friday (February 1) one of the opposition leaders who stuck a deal and reconciled the regime in Daraa countryside, Orient News learnt from local sources.

Tareq al-Alo, the leader of The Grandsons of the Prophet Brigade, was detained by the Assad militia men in the town of Inkhel, the sources said.

Alo was charged with dealing with Israel.

The opposition leader was also a financial official in the Front of Syria’s Revolutionaries.
