Syrian security forces in the city of Jableh have arrested former General Intelligence Chief Ibrahim Huweija, who is accused of orchestrating numerous assassinations during the rule of Hafez al-Assad.

Huweija, a powerful figure in Syria's intelligence apparatus, is believed to have played a direct role in several high-profile political assassinations, including the killing of Lebanese leader Kamal Jumblatt in 1977.
