Assad regime released a number of civilians, on Tuesday, after a campaign of arrests carried out by its security service,s in the city of Al-Rastan in Northern Homs.

The Arrests were implemented against the backdrop of an armed attack fulfilled by unknown persons on the military security headquarter in the city.

A special source, asked not to be named, said to Horrya Press, that Assad forces began a campaign of arrests after the armed attack targeted the military security, and violent clashes, with light and medium weapons, lasted more than an hour and a half and, resulted in injuries among security members. Ambulances were also seen hurrying towards the military security headquarter, which is located in the Eastern entrance of the city.

The source added that Assad forces “released a number of civilians they arrested, and kept some of them; on charges of participating in the attack,” noting that the city “has witnessed heavy mobilization of the security forces, after the attack, in addition to the closure of Al-Rastan entrances, exits, and the main roads leading to Headquarters of military security “.
