Arrests confirmed
Khattab said in the statement that "The cell responsible for the terrorist bombings that targeted Damascus two days ago is now in our custody," according to SANA. He added that authorities will disclose "the identities of the cell members, their roles, and all of their affiliations" once investigations are completed, though he offered no information regarding the circumstances of the arrests.
