Amjad Youssef, a key suspect in the Tadamon massacre, was arrested over the mass killings carried out in April 2013. In that incident in the Tadamon neighborhood of Damascus, bound and blindfolded civilians were executed and their bodies dumped into a pit. Authorities say Youssef is accused of participating in those executions, and his detention could provide evidence for criminal prosecutions and international investigations into wartime atrocities in Syria.
