Syrian Rebel Leader Pledges Justice for Assad-Era Torture and War Crimes
Syrian rebels have set fire to the tomb of Hafez al-Assad, the father of Bashar al-Assad, in Qardaha, as the new rulers of Syria seek to stabilize the country. Rebel leader Abu Mohammed al-Jolani emphasized the need for justice for those involved in torture during Assad's regime. Meanwhile, ongoing conflicts in northern Syria have resulted in significant casualties, and Bashar al-Assad is reportedly in Russia. US troops remain in Syria to complete their mission, and tensions continue at the Syrian-Lebanese border.
