France Issues New Arrest Warrant Against Bashar al-Assad for 2017 Deraa Bombing
Jan 21, 2025, 04:20 PM
Two French investigating magistrates have issued a new arrest warrant against Bashar al-Assad, the former Syrian president, for suspected complicity in war crimes. This is the second such warrant issued by French judicial authorities. The warrant specifically links Assad to a 2017 bombing in the Syrian city of Deraa that resulted in the death of a civilian. Assad, who was ousted late last year and is currently residing in Russia, is accused in his capacity as 'commander-in-chief of the armed forces.'
