Syrian scientist killed in Damascus amid fears of purge after Assad ouster

Press TV – December 11, 2024

Gunmen have assassinated a prominent Syrian scientist in Damascus amid fears of an underway purge against the country’s elites in the aftermath of the recent Western-engineered ouster of the Syrian government by foreign-backed armed groups.

Dr. Hamdi Ismail Nadi, who used to specialize in advanced chemistry and pharmaceuticals, was found dead at his home in the Syrian capital on Tuesday.

Local accounts and various reports have described, as “mysterious” the circumstances surrounding the death of Nadi, who used to be known as a principal figure in his field with noteworthy contributions to both local and international chemical research.

The news has sent shockwaves throughout the local and international scientific and academic community.

Observers have likened the incident to the aftermath of the United States invasion of neighboring Iraq in 2003, which witnessed widespread deadly targeting of Iraqi elites.

They, meanwhile, warned about the pending expanding scope of the campaign, which, they said, bears the hallmarks of involvement of foreign intelligence apparatuses, including the Israeli regime’s spy agency Mossad.

The development came amid the Israeli regime’s widely reported cooperation with and support for the militant outfits that ousted the Syrian government a few days ago as well as intensified deadly Israeli aggression against the country’s infrastructure, including the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center near Damascus.

As part of their tactics, the outfits repeatedly carried out chemical attacks across Syria after the outbreak of foreign-backed militancy in the Arab country in 2011.

The attacks were used by the United States, the UK, and France as a pretext to take the country under intense and deadly missile strikes on several occasions after accusing Damascus of perpetrating the atrocities.

Prior to the government’s ouster, Russian sources reported that the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham militant group was preparing to keep up the strategy by deploying toxic substances in the northern Syrian provinces of Aleppo and Idlib.

The sources said the materials had been transported to the provinces using ambulances operated by the White Helmets, a Western- and Israeli-backed so-called aid group.

  1. Noted. I have total distaste for foreign intervention in Syrian sovereign affairs since at least 2011. President Al-Assad was never given the chance to govern Syria from a Syrian perspective. He had many diverse constituencies (including Syrian Orthodox Christian, Shia, Sunni, Alawites…and many other tension points/interferences, mostly malign: USA, the terrorist Colonial Zionists, Kurds, Turkey, Al-Qaeda, ISIS…and some 400,000 Palestinian refugees. How in hell could the man rule with any confidence or effectiveness or expectation of Syria-first advancement of his country?

  2. (The report of the Syrian scientist’s assassination has eerie similarity to the goddam Colonial Zionists’ assassinations in Irani sovereign territory over decades….)
