BBC: SUA ar proteja și finanța un general sirian acuzat de crime împotriva umanității. Ce urmăresc americanii

The U.S. and Lebanese authorities are reportedly providing protection and financial support to former Syrian general Bassam al-Hassan, wanted for crimes against humanity. In exchange, he is expected to share information about the disappearance of American journalist Austin Tice and secrets of the Assad regime. Al-Hassan, who was involved in Syria's chemical weapons program, has been living in Lebanon since the Assad regime's collapse in 2024. Despite an agreement for his cooperation, progress in the Tice case remains limited. The journalist disappeared in Syria in 2012, and al-Hassan allegedly indicated that Tice was executed under Assad's orders. The situation raises concerns about the use of taxpayer money for al-Hassan's support, prompting calls for his repatriation to Syria for trial.
