Syria's Interior Ministry has announced the arrest of Amjad Youssef, a former regime intelligence officer identified as the main perpetrator of the 2013 Tadamon massacre. The massacre, one of the worst atrocities of the Syrian civil war, saw over 288 blindfolded Syrian and Palestinian protesters thrown into a pit and shot to death in a Damascus neighborhood. Youssef was captured by Syrian security operation forces in the city of Hama. The arrest marks a significant, though long-delayed, step in addressing one of the conflict's most notorious war crimes.
