MARCH 18, 2013 05:08

Sources in the Syrian opposition claim that a defecting former Syrian intelligence officer is seeking to auction the intelligence archives of the former Deputy Defense Minister Assef Shawkat, according to a report published Saturday in the Kuwaiti al-Seyassah.

The archive contains recordings and documents related to Lebanese officials, the release of which would cause a shock in Lebanon and the region.

According to the sources, the intelligence officer fled to Turkey with the archives. Assef Shawkat was Syrian President Bashar Assad's brother-in-law who was killed by an explosion at the headquarters of the National Security Bureau in Damascus in July last year.

Katz reverses removal of administrative detention for Jews in West Bank.
