SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 20, 2023 | SaltWirePARIS/BEIRUT - French prosecutors have issued arrest warrants for two Syrian ex-defence ministers over a 2017 bomb that killed a French-Syrian man, a source said, in an unprecedented case that may trigger more quests for accountability in the 12-year war.
Nabout died on June 7, 2017, when a barrel stuffed with explosives hit his three-storey home, which also served as a school, in the city of Daraa, said Nabout's son Omar. If he could talk to his father now, Omar said in a video interview,"I would tell him to sleep in peace, because the criminals will be held to account."SCMFE head Mazen Darwish said the warrants could pave the way for further investigations on indiscriminate bombardment both around war-ravaged Syria and in other places like Ukraine or the Palestinian territories.
Both Syrian and Russian strikes hit open-air markets, hospitals, schools, and homes in what U.N. experts have said were indiscriminate bombardments and potential war crimes.
