Syria authorities say Assad cousin, an ex-security official, arrested

Syria's new authorities on Friday announced the arrest of a cousin of ousted leader Bashar al-Assad who was an official in his security apparatus when protests erupted in 2011.

Security forces in Latakia "arrested Atif Najib, who held the position of the head of political security in Daraa", in southern Syria, the official SANA news agency cited a security official as saying.
