The Grand Mufti of Damascus, Adnan Al-Afyouni, was killed on Thursday night as a result of the explosion of an explosive device in his car, the official Syrian news agency “SANA” announced.
“SANA” quoted the Endowments Ministry as saying that Al-Afiouni died “when an explosive device placed in his car exploded” in the city of Qudsaya, northwest of the capital.
According to our Syrian correspondent Assaf Abboud, Al-Afiouni played an effective role during the Syrian conflict in reconciliations between opposition militants and government forces in the countryside of Damascus and its cities.
The Syrian authorities did not directly charge certain parties for the opium murder.
In September 2016, Umm al-Afyuni was a prayer attended by President Bashar al-Assad in a rare public appearance to celebrate Eid al-Adha in Daraya, on the outskirts of Damascus, after the last militants of the opposition were evacuated from there by virtue of a surrender agreement.
He told the faithful at the time that Daraya “is living proof for all Syrians that the only option available to you is reconciliation and abandoning the struggle.”
Explosions have become rare in and around the Syrian capital since government forces drove the last of the opposition and jihadist militants from its outskirts in 2018.
In another development, the leaders of the Al-Sham Liberation Headquarters were reportedly killed by an unknown airstrike at their site in the village of Jakara in the northern Idlib countryside.
According to opposition sources, the strike killed at least 12 people.
The war in Syria is estimated to have killed more than 380,000 people and displaced millions from their homes since the beginning of 2011 with the crackdown on anti-government protests.
