[00:00:00] This hour, Rashid Hourani, security researcher and military analyst from Damascus, and Ammar Farhoud
[00:00:03] was also with us from Aleppo, a researcher in security affairs.
[00:00:07] Dear viewers, this coverage
[00:00:09] development in their will continue with you at the top of the hour with colleague Rubha.
[00:00:34] on, openness to the
[00:00:45] the enemies of
[00:00:47] by security agencies. Well, this
[00:00:53] Jaramana, on the road
[00:01:04] visits,
[00:01:17] is it? Because
[00:01:30] to cause the greatest damage
[00:01:37] the target in this
[00:01:41] operation. Of course, the issue
[00:01:54] and out? Did he leave anything in
[00:02:05] this explosion.
[00:02:11] there is still no
[00:02:17] equipment to be placed in
[00:02:27] there are thousands of cars that cannot
[00:02:43] it carries materials are May God bless you, dear viewers, in this
[00:02:46] continuous coverage with you from Syria TV regarding the Jaramana explosion
[00:02:51] the remnants of this in the Damascus countryside, matter. The beneficiaries of this where the director
[00:02:53] of the Damascus countryside health directorate, Dr. Osama Al-Hasnain, told Syria TV
[00:02:57] that four people were killed and 14 others were injured
[00:03:01] in the latest toll of the Jaramana explosion. A security source
[00:03:04] stated that the Jaramana explosion occurred as a result of an explosive
[00:03:07] device detonating in a passenger minibus.
[00:03:12] of this Syria TV correspondent clarified that the explosion occurred
[00:03:15] near the Rawda intersection,
[00:03:18] in Syria, to those who do not want this pointing out that the internal security forces cut off the road to deal with
[00:03:21] First, we offer our condolences for the incident before reopening it a
[00:03:24] short while ago.
[00:03:28] We continue this coverage
[00:03:32] the explosives except in this with our correspondents, and now with Marit Obaid from in front of the
[00:03:35] Damascus Hospital. Welcome, Marit. What are the additional
[00:03:39] details regarding the casualties,
[00:03:41] both dead and
[00:03:43] injured?
[00:03:47] Yes, Rubha, we are now in front of Al-Moujtahid Hospital
[00:03:52] line, either from Sayeda, from in Damascus. Immediately after
[00:03:53] strange device, for example, this explosion occurred, the injured were immediately transferred
[00:03:58] in it, so that to three hospitals in the city of Jaramana due to
[00:04:00] the short distance.
[00:04:03] countries do not withdraw from Then, after the Jaramana hospitals, they were transferred to
[00:04:06] I said 90%. No Al-Moujtahid Hospital. Of course, the Ministry of Health
[00:04:10] TV. also announced that the state of alert had been raised and
[00:04:15] are devices that contain emergency and ambulance services in the hospital had been prepared. Then, as I mentioned, they were transferred
[00:04:19] from the Jaramana hospitals, from three hospitals in the city of Jaramana
[00:04:22] via ambulances, the injured from Jaramana hospitals to
[00:04:26] Al-Moujtahid Hospital because their conditions were serious.
[00:04:34] has been going on for a month. This Yes, Rubha, in fact,
[00:04:36] escalation began around they were transferred, perhaps Al-Moujtahid Hospital,
[00:04:39] meaning it has medical equipment. As one of them told us,
[00:04:43] common, and therefore, checking they were transferred after their condition
[00:04:46] stabilized,
[00:04:49] is more stable and advanced than many I don't think it's difficult to plant a to relieve the burden
[00:04:50] this is very important and it is one of the on Jaramana hospitals, or because the hospital here is equipped, as
[00:04:54] middle-class citizens. was announced. They were transferred, of course, the families of the injured are standing, there is no
[00:04:58] development in the number of fatalities
[00:05:05] time and in this specific and get off, since so far. The final toll is four dead and 14 injured. They are inside this hospital, and there are also the
[00:05:09] families of the injured, and they also told us that they were transferred
[00:05:13] from Jaramana hospitals to this hospital. Of course,
[00:05:17] as I mentioned, there is no information indicating any
[00:05:21] health condition.
[00:05:24] Are all the injured from Jaramana residents?
[00:05:27] Since you spoke with their families,
[00:05:30] are they all residents
[00:05:32] of the area?
[00:05:36] Yes, Rubha, in fact, the families of the injured whom we met
[00:05:39] here are indeed residents of Jaramana. However,
[00:05:43] the bus in which the explosion occurred
[00:05:46] has not yet been identified,
[00:05:49] meaning its route has not been determined. But
[00:05:53] since it was in the city of Jaramana, it was either heading to Bab Touma or
[00:05:56] to Al-Sayeda garage. But, since
[00:06:00] the traces of the minibus disappeared, it has not been revealed.
[00:06:03] Perhaps if there were other injuries, perhaps
[00:06:07] some of the residents were heading to the areas
[00:06:11] I mentioned, like Bab Touma.
[00:06:23] At the moment, among those we met, as I said, there has been no change in the number of fatalities, nor has there been any
[00:06:27] change in the health condition. Some are in stable
[00:06:30] condition, and some, according to their families, are in critical
[00:06:33] condition. Were their families allowed to enter to see
[00:06:36] the injured at Al-Moujtahid Hospital, also according to your
[00:06:40] observations, Marit?
[00:06:45] Yes, Rubha, in fact, they are standing in front
[00:06:49] of the hospital, only outside the hospital. Currently,
[00:06:52] only ambulances are allowed to enter. I'm not talking about
[00:06:56] ambulances related to the explosion, but rather all
[00:06:59] medical cases. Up to this moment,
[00:07:03] a car carrying an injured person or
[00:07:06] a critical medical case unrelated to the explosion has entered. But such cases are allowed
[00:07:10] to enter. As for the families of the injured, as I mentioned, they are standing
[00:07:14] outside the hospital. Also, regarding the deployment of security
[00:07:17] forces throughout the capital, Damascus,
[00:07:21] we see that there is congestion behind you, and this area is known to be near Al-Moujtahid Hospital,
[00:07:25] which is a very vital area. What about the deployment of security
[00:07:28] forces throughout
[00:07:30] the capital?
[00:07:35] Yes, Rubha, in fact, we noticed, upon
[00:07:38] our arrival at this hospital, that there was
[00:07:41] a presence in all, or in different roads
[00:07:45] we passed through, especially in front of this hospital. Of course, in front of
[00:07:49] this hospital, there is always a security presence, especially
[00:07:52] also when transferring the injured with ambulances. They were transferred with them
[00:07:56] from the city of Jaramana to this hospital. Of course, the
[00:08:00] security cordon in the city of Jaramana at the site
[00:08:03] of the explosion is still imposed. Also,
[00:08:06] the security authorities began investigating the circumstances
[00:08:10] of this explosion, also collecting evidence
[00:08:14] and data present at the scene of the explosion. As
[00:08:17] I mentioned, the security deployment here and in
[00:08:20] different areas and streets of Damascus. Yes,
[00:08:24] yes, thank you, Marit Obaid, our correspondent from Damascus.
[00:08:27] You were with us from in front of Al-Moujtahid Hospital, where the injured were
[00:08:30] transferred as a result of the Jaramana explosion.
[00:08:33] We continue with this coverage with my guests,
[00:08:36] Mr. Abdel Karim Al-Omar, writer and political analyst from Damascus,
[00:08:40] and Brigadier General Mohammad Al-Baqqa,
[00:08:43] security and military expert from the Damascus countryside. I will start
[00:08:46] with you, Mr. Mohammad. From your
[00:08:49] observations of this explosion, if we
[00:08:52] talk about security, how is it possible for such
[00:08:56] a security breach to occur in a public transport minibus,
[00:08:59] especially since the Jaramana line, or the one
[00:09:02] that goes to Jaramana, is a well-known minibus
[00:09:05] Sayeda Garage, as it is known, or from the Bab Touma
[00:09:08] area? In your opinion, how was it possible
[00:09:11] to move in this way in a public transport
[00:09:15] minibus?
[00:09:17] Good evening, madam, to you and to the viewers of Syria
[00:09:23] First, I offer my condolences for the souls of
[00:09:26] the martyrs and wish a speedy recovery
[00:09:29] to the injured. The explosion that happened today
[00:09:33] killed about four martyrs and injured 16.
[00:09:37] We wish them a speedy recovery.
[00:09:40] First,
[00:09:42] the minibus in which the explosion occurred is
[00:09:46] affiliated with Jaramana and operates on the
[00:09:49] Jaramana - Sayeda Zeinab line, Sayeda
[00:09:53] Zeinab Garage - Bab Touma. So,
[00:09:56] the person who planted this explosive device,
[00:10:01] small explosive device in a minibus
[00:10:04] frequented by
[00:10:07] So, a passenger could
[00:10:10] get on, leave an explosive device in a bag,
[00:10:14] this minibus is not under security surveillance. Okay, this explosive
[00:10:18] device, when placed inside the minibus, according to your analysis,
[00:10:22] because we also don't know the nature of the explosion that occurred. In this
[00:10:25] bus, it seems that the device
[00:10:28] is inside, meaning we don't know where the device
[00:10:32] is, whether it's under the bus or
[00:10:35] inside it. How can it be detonated unless
[00:10:38] the person is inside the minibus or using a remote control device? These
[00:10:42] security details, please explain all the
[00:10:45] scenarios to us. Yes, madam,
[00:10:47] the person who planted the explosive
[00:10:50] device could place it, for example, at
[00:10:53] the Bab Sharqi intersection.
[00:11:02] And there could be another car
[00:11:05] accompanying this terrorist element, driving behind
[00:11:08] the minibus at a distance of 100 or 200 meters.
[00:11:11] When the minibus reaches the target area and
[00:11:15] the area to be detonated, they detonate
[00:11:17] it remotely, or there is another case
[00:11:21] where they place a timer device.
[00:11:30] Approximately, what is the size of this explosive device that
[00:11:34] must be used to cause such great damage by detonating
[00:11:36] this entire explosive device?
[00:11:39] It could be about half
[00:11:43] a kilogram or a kilogram of highly explosive materials,
[00:11:47] and large quantities of nails,
[00:11:50] bolts, and metal pieces are placed in it
[00:11:55] to people. The one who wanted to
[00:11:58] detonate it wanted to detonate it in a densely
[00:12:02] populated area to cause the greatest
[00:12:05] harm to people. This is what the bomber intended
[00:12:09] today. There is an organization
[00:12:11] called Ansar Al-Rasoul,
[00:12:15] which is a Daesh organization by nature.
[00:12:18] Its name disappeared years ago,
[00:12:21] then it returned today, it seems, to reappear
[00:12:26] and claim responsibility for
[00:12:30] Yes, okay, Mr. Abdel Karim Al-Omar, welcome again. If
[00:12:33] we ask you,
[00:12:36] official statement from the Ministry
[00:12:39] of Interior regarding who carried out this terrorist act. But
[00:12:43] if we ask, who is the first beneficiary of such
[00:12:46] an explosion, especially since the capital, Damascus, during
[00:12:50] the past month, witnessed more than one terrorist and bombing act? But does
[00:12:54] what happened today in Jaramana differ from other bombings? Who benefits?
[00:12:57] Mr. Abdul Karim, if
[00:13:03] you can hear
[00:13:04] me.
[00:13:09] Mr. Abdul Karim, it
[00:13:11] seems he cannot hear me. I will return to you, Mr. Abdul Karim, but I also welcome
[00:13:15] my guest from Damascus, Mr. Diaa Kaddour,
[00:13:18] security expert. Welcome, Mr. Diaa. So, we ask about
[00:13:22] who benefits from such an act, given the security
[00:13:25] flaw that has been occurring in the capital, Damascus, for a month, more than
[00:13:28] one bombing. But the specificity of Jaramana, to what
[00:13:32] extent can we, through its specificity,
[00:13:35] analyze who is the first beneficiary
[00:13:37] act?
[00:13:40] Greetings to you, Ms. Rubha, and to the viewers of Syria TV.
[00:13:46] the victims
[00:13:48] and the martyrs and wish a speedy recovery
[00:13:51] to the injured. Today, the target
[00:13:55] and method indicate by more than 90% that
[00:13:59] the terrorist bombing is behind a potential
[00:14:01] main perpetrator, which is ISIS. The target is
[00:14:04] to stir up sectarian strife, targeting neighborhoods with
[00:14:07] a majority or a specific sectarian component,
[00:14:10] such as Al-Wuroud neighborhood, Ash Al-Wurour, and some other locations where
[00:14:14] the Ministry of Interior proactively uncovered many
[00:14:17] explosive devices. Also, the method, the explosive
[00:14:21] devices that are planted. The Ministry of Interior seized many of them,
[00:14:25] and perhaps the security experts who will examine
[00:14:28] the nature of these devices will know
[00:14:32] that they are similar to other devices
[00:14:35] seized in other locations attributed to ISIS. They
[00:14:40] a lot of shrapnel, nuts, bolts,
[00:14:44] which, if they detonate, will lead to very large human casualties.
[00:14:47] The goal and the method indicate by
[00:14:51] more than 90% that the terrorist organization ISIS
[00:14:54] is behind this bombing, and you mentioned that this escalation
[00:15:01] May, Ms. Rubha, it is an abnormal,
[00:15:04] abnormal surge. Okay, you spoke, Mr. Diaa, about the method,
[00:15:08] and indeed, we don't know who carried out
[00:15:12] this bombing, but you say that the method of this bombing
[00:15:15] indicates that it belongs to
[00:15:17] ISIS. But ISIS has become very
[00:15:21] active after the liberation of Syria, especially
[00:15:25] in the capital, Damascus. So, did you base
[00:15:29] it on its method and by changing
[00:15:32] the way it carries out its terrorist acts, that it carried out this act, or did you
[00:15:35] base it on other analyses regarding this matter? For example, an explosive
[00:15:39] device placed inside a public transport bus on a long
[00:15:43] route. You know the distance between, of course, if this is
[00:15:46] the route. But through our knowledge, these minibuses leave
[00:15:50] from Al-Sitreh garage, meaning Bab Touma, towards
[00:15:53] Jaramana. Logically, to this extent,
[00:15:56] can ISIS reach all these
[00:16:00] places? Ms. Rubha, there are
[00:16:03] similar cases in Al-Wuroud neighborhood. Yes, security
[00:16:07] forces seized many explosive devices that were located
[00:16:11] under buses. One of the devices exploded in an empty bus,
[00:16:14] which did not lead, yes, and I don't remember
[00:16:18] the exact date, but it did not lead to any
[00:16:21] casualties. Of course, because
[00:16:24] the bus was empty. The device
[00:16:27] that was placed in front of the Armament Directorate in
[00:16:31] Damascus also. The other devices
[00:16:34] that were, that were,
[00:16:37] that were made with different methods, for example, in
[00:16:41] garbage containers, for example, in Damascus,
[00:16:44] many of them. Okay, okay, monitoring public
[00:16:48] transport, to what extent is it so easy to access
[00:16:51] it, and whose responsibility
[00:16:54] this matter is not only related to the security
[00:16:57] forces and the Ministry of Interior. Public transport, who bears
[00:17:01] the responsibility in such a matter, from your point of view,
[00:17:05] Mr. Diaa?
[00:17:07] Ms. Rubha, the issue is not only about public buses
[00:17:11] that transport passengers, citizens, and civilians. Yes, yes, that's
[00:17:14] correct. I'm talking about such an operation, about this particular
[00:17:18] is not limited to buses,
[00:17:21] but this operation
[00:17:23] in one of the cases, Ms. Rubha, an explosive device
[00:17:27] was planted in Aleppo in one of the funeral cars that was heading
[00:17:31] to one of the cathedrals in Aleppo. Yes, this device fell, and one of
[00:17:34] the employees noticed it and removed
[00:17:37] it, and then the security forces came. Today, the alertness of
[00:17:40] that employee and his attention to this strange object that
[00:17:44] fell and his reporting to the authorities, the government, and the
[00:17:47] security forces contributed to neutralizing this terrorist threat.
[00:17:51] Therefore, we today, honestly, let me speak objectively,
[00:17:54] these are terrorist threats that are difficult to detect.
[00:17:57] When we talk about an explosive device planted in a trash can or
[00:18:01] an explosive device planted in one of the cars,
[00:18:05] be controlled.
[00:18:15] These explosive easily obtained.
[00:18:19] Of
[00:18:22] course, because we are talking about a country where
[00:18:25] the regime fell, it fell freely, as they
[00:18:29] say, and many of the regime's warehouses
[00:18:32] were emptied, and some of these
[00:18:35] weapons reached
[00:18:37] cross-border terrorist organizations, including ISIS.
[00:18:41] Many of the seizures that the Ministry of Interior
[00:18:44] refers to are weapons belonging to the regime and the regime's
[00:18:48] arsenal. But these devices, I am talking about
[00:18:51] a terrorist organization that has a long history and experience in manufacturing
[00:18:54] and innovating in manufacturing explosive devices.
[00:18:57] It places them even in the last case, I witnessed an explosive device
[00:19:00] placed in a cooking pot, imagine, in a
[00:19:04] cooking pot. So, they didn't find a place to put
[00:19:09] place where they can camouflage them. Okay, then,
[00:19:13] why did you indicate, based on
[00:19:15] your conclusion, Mr. Diaa, that the bombing
[00:19:18] was probably carried out by ISIS and not
[00:19:22] the remnants, for example, because the beneficiaries of such criminal acts in Syria
[00:19:25] seem to be not just one party, they
[00:19:28] are multiple parties.
[00:19:32] And I rely on what you said, based on the experience of the
[00:19:35] ousted regime and those who were with it regarding explosive devices.
[00:19:39] Yes, I don't deny the other possibility.
[00:19:43] researcher or analyst, Ms. Rubha, can deny
[00:19:47] any possibility that is present and existing, of course. But I am
[00:19:50] talking about indicators, I am talking about a method. For example,
[00:19:53] Damascus witnessed, for example, during the past months,
[00:19:57] rocket fire towards, for example, one of the suburbs.
[00:20:00] It turned out in the end that this cell belongs to Hezbollah,
[00:20:04] for example. The methods of Hezbollah and the regime's militias,
[00:20:07] and their terrorist threats in specific areas and methods,
[00:20:10] but the method generally indicates that it is ISIS. Yes, clear. So,
[00:20:14] you base your preference for one party
[00:20:17] over another on the method and the strategy adopted
[00:20:20] and the approach taken by each party that carries out
[00:20:23] such terrorist acts. I return once again to Mr. Abdel Karim
[00:20:26] Al-Omar. Welcome, if you can hear me now. If
[00:20:30] we ask you, Mr. Abdel Karim, what are the indications or political
[00:20:33] messages that the party that carried out this criminal
[00:20:37] terrorist act in the heart of the capital wants to send at this particularly sensitive
[00:20:43] place?
[00:20:44] Good
[00:20:47] evening, Ru, my greetings to you, your guests, and the other viewers. May God have
[00:20:51] mercy on the souls of the martyrs and grant a speedy recovery
[00:20:54] to the injured. Of course, the one who carried out this
[00:20:57] terrorist operation, there is no doubt, as you said,
[00:21:01] there are many beneficiaries, frankly. Those who do not want stability
[00:21:04] and calm for Syria, and those who always like
[00:21:07] the continuation of bloodshed in Syria after
[00:21:11] the victory that occurred on December 8th, that Syria
[00:21:15] should not have any bloodshed, that dialogue
[00:21:18] is the solution, and the entitlements that the
[00:21:22] Syrian government has embarked Arab and
[00:21:26] international community, to regional countries,
[00:21:28] and to the European Union and the United
[00:21:32] States. All of that means that
[00:21:35] Syria do not want this openness for Syria. What
[00:21:39] happened in Syria during the past year and a half
[00:21:43] and months, did not happen anywhere else
[00:21:46] where a regime fell, whether due to revolution or coup.
[00:21:50] Open relations,
[00:21:54] this thing did not happen, honestly, at the level of regional
[00:21:57] countries, I mean. Therefore, there is no doubt
[00:22:00] that the one who carried out this operation,
[00:22:02] whether the Israeli factor is present, there is no doubt that if it was ISIS,
[00:22:06] if it was the remnants of the regime, or even cells belonging
[00:22:09] to Hezbollah or Iran, they do not want stability for Syria. Therefore,
[00:22:13] these are messages that Syria is not
[00:22:16] stable, Syria is not safe, there are targeting operations
[00:22:20] of an area with a specific nature or a specific
[00:22:23] orientation, for example, as happened previously in Damascus,
[00:22:27] that is, with the visit of the French President,
[00:22:30] that there should be no European
[00:22:34] openness to Syria, because there is a trend, whether American,
[00:22:37] European, or even Arab. So, do you mean, Mr. Abdel Karim,
[00:22:41] that the one who carried out this criminal act
[00:22:44] began to feel that perhaps things were starting to ease
[00:22:47] regarding the Sweida issue, for example?
[00:22:50] Or is it that, considering that Jaramana's situation is different
[00:22:54] from Sweida? This has nothing to do with it.
[00:22:58] We must mention here the statement issued by the
[00:23:01] sheikhs of Jaramana and what they said about
[00:23:05] their relationship with Damascus and their relationship with the Syrian
[00:23:08] components.
[00:23:11] There is no doubt that the statement issued by the dignitaries
[00:23:15] of Jaramana or the sheikhs in Jaramana, which confirmed
[00:23:18] their standing, that it is part of the Syrian state and their rejection of any
[00:23:21] sectarian or incitement discourse. We should not forget
[00:23:24] yesterday when a young man in Jaramana,
[00:23:28] or one of the remnants of the regime,
[00:23:31] was driving his car and listening
[00:23:34] to songs glorifying the former regime president. Therefore,
[00:23:38] what prevents
[00:23:41] regime from being the ones who carried out
[00:23:44] this bombing, because this young man was arrested, for example.
[00:23:47] Perhaps there are also signs of the situation in
[00:23:51] Sweida easing, or that there will be a solution
[00:23:55] to the Sweida issue. The statement you mentioned, all
[00:23:59] of that gives motives to those who do not want
[00:24:02] stability for Syria, to those who want the continuation of bloodshed
[00:24:08] European and Arab openness to Syria,
[00:24:11] because in the end, all countries, when they begin any openness
[00:24:15] and any relations, must take into account security, which is fundamentally the concern
[00:24:19] of the state. So, the security situation in Syria is at the top of the
[00:24:23] Syrian state's priorities, because any security stability means political stability
[00:24:26] means economic stability. Therefore, always
[00:24:29] when these terrorists or these
[00:24:32] killers target any place, whether it is
[00:24:35] a cafe or a street or a minibus,
[00:24:38] the goal is to send messages to others that
[00:24:42] Syria is unsafe, unstable, there are always
[00:24:45] bombings
[00:24:48] some Arab countries or European
[00:24:53] this openness to Damascus.
[00:24:56] Although the Syrian government is
[00:24:59] taking serious steps and security
[00:25:02] and intelligence agencies and the Ministry of Interior are closely monitoring
[00:25:06] their patrols that are deployed in most
[00:25:10] areas, even on main public roads between governorates,
[00:25:14] but despite that, the infiltration process is easy and simple. Syria
[00:25:17] does not have surveillance and eavesdropping
[00:25:20] and modern monitoring devices like other countries. A
[00:25:23] fledgling country emerging from war, and yet, if
[00:25:27] we want to compare, as I mentioned from the beginning, what is happening
[00:25:30] in Syria to what happened in other countries like Iraq, for example,
[00:25:34] Syria today, in terms of security,
[00:25:39] countries where the regime changed due to a coup
[00:25:43] or revolution. Yes, okay, Mr. Mohammad Al-Baqaa,
[00:25:46] if we ask you again, from
[00:25:49] a security and military perspective, to what extent
[00:25:52] do these security breaches burden the Ministry
[00:25:54] of Interior and its strategy
[00:25:57] to establish security in the country? And to what extent is it possible
[00:26:01] that, through the development of the Ministry of Interior's tools in
[00:26:04] the coming period, such operations can be reduced,
[00:26:08] especially since it has made great efforts
[00:26:11] in pre-emptive strikes that prevented such
[00:26:14] criminal operations?
[00:26:18] Ms. Rubha, firstly, these terrorist acts cannot
[00:26:22] be controlled, and I am a researcher
[00:26:25] in the security affairs of armed non-state groups. Yes,
[00:26:28] these small explosions that occur in
[00:26:32] public transport vehicles cannot, Ms. Rubha, be controlled
[00:26:36] under any circumstances. Let's assume that
[00:26:40] the
[00:26:42] garage, as it is called in Syria, is secured
[00:26:46] and inspected and monitored
[00:26:50] minibus that left from Bab Touma garage to
[00:26:55] at Douweilaa and on the road in the
[00:26:58] Kmas area, a passenger got on and a passenger got
[00:27:01] off. He left a bag under the seat.
[00:27:05] Who can do this? Mr. Muhammad,
[00:27:08] I asked you to what extent such criminal operations
[00:27:11] affect and burden the internal security forces
[00:27:14] and the Ministry of Interior and make it difficult
[00:27:18] for them to control these matters. And you pointed out
[00:27:21] that the Ministry of Interior previously carried out pre-emptive
[00:27:24] operations that prevented such
[00:27:26] criminal incidents. Madam, there is no doubt that these
[00:27:30] terrorist operations pose a burden
[00:27:33] on the Ministry of Interior, as it is concerned with protecting citizens, and on
[00:27:37] citizens, as they are
[00:27:40] matter. I, madam, rely on
[00:27:43] the Ministry of Interior to implement programs to raise
[00:27:47] awareness among citizens. So, what prevents
[00:27:49] a citizen in a public car from monitoring
[00:27:53] the citizen who gets in
[00:27:56] the car? Also, the driver of the car
[00:28:00] must inspect his car. Meaning,
[00:28:03] from underneath the car, the device might be planted underneath the car.
[00:28:06] Therefore, we rely on the awareness
[00:28:09] of the citizen in the first place, and on
[00:28:13] the security forces,
[00:28:16] and on importing future
[00:28:20] the roads to detect any explosive device
[00:28:23] that passes in front of it. These devices are available
[00:28:27] in all developed countries. Also, the Ministry of Interior
[00:28:31] conducts specialized courses
[00:28:33] in monitoring explosives and pursuing them. Let us not forget,
[00:28:37] sister Rubha, that the Syrian state is a modern
[00:28:41] state and that
[00:28:45] many problems and many
[00:28:48] burdens. Therefore, there is also an important
[00:28:53] bombing are many, and the enemies of the
[00:28:56] new state are many as well. Aha, yes.
[00:28:59] Okay, Mr. Diaa, what are the actual
[00:29:02] needs of the internal security forces and the Ministry of Interior
[00:29:05] now, in addition to what Mr. Mohammad mentioned, in terms of equipment,
[00:29:08] and
[00:29:11] devices to reduce the heavy burden that
[00:29:14] falls on the Ministry of Interior, especially since such operations,
[00:29:18] as you and other security experts know, are difficult to control,
[00:29:22] but perhaps there are devices, perhaps there are certain
[00:29:25] trainings that would make the matter easier and more manageable
[00:29:29] to control?
[00:29:32] Yes, I think that the most important thing in
[00:29:36] detecting these threats is the human factor.
[00:29:39] I just mentioned the bombing that was about
[00:29:42] to happen in one of the sites in
[00:29:45] the city of Aleppo. It was discovered by one of the workers,
[00:29:49] and therefore, social awareness is very
[00:29:52] important. Any
[00:29:56] in Al-Sakhour yesterday, today, the security
[00:29:59] forces dismantled one of the explosive belts
[00:30:02] that civilians reported. Therefore,
[00:30:06] communication and establishing
[00:30:10] an operations room and immediate reports to the Ministry
[00:30:13] of Interior and the security apparatus, I believe, at
[00:30:17] this moment, as a direct and immediate
[00:30:20] measure to deal with these threats,
[00:30:23] is the most important point. That is, the report of
[00:30:27] the citizen and the person in the street should arrive
[00:30:30] immediately and accurately and be followed up by the security agencies.
[00:30:34] As happened, for example, in many cases, for example, in Al-Wuroud neighborhood,
[00:30:38] a bomb, and in the al-Qudsia area, it was also planted in
[00:30:41] one of the buses. This method has become
[00:30:45] buses, checking any strange car, that the
[00:30:49] community be part of security
[00:30:52] basic pillars, and that there be a communication body
[00:30:56] and direct coordination channels between the government and the community so that
