Earlier this year, an unfamiliar car rolled into the Syrian village of Kanakar, a former rebel stronghold southwest of Damascus that serves as a gateway to Daraa province.
It was there to meet a former rebel called Abdo al-Hori, better known as al-Berri, who knew neither the car nor its passengers.
According to Middle East Eye’s sources, al-Berri was blindfolded, eased into the back of the car and taken to a man called “the Engineer”, a brigadier general in Military Intelligence Branch 215 with a fearsome reputation for torture.
