Syrian Military on High Alert in Latakia
Foreign intelligence sources have stated that brigades in the Syrian army are on alert in the district of Latakia on the Western shores of Syria.
They are preparing for a possible retaliation from the supporters of the dead interior minister Ghazi Kanaan.
The source has mentioned that at least two of the Allawi clans supportive to Kanaan are showing signs of dissatisfaction with the Syrian government.
The last time that a state of alert took effect was in 2000 immediately before the death of previous president Assad's death when Mahmoud Zouaby killed himself after being imprisoned on charges of corruption.
Another high military alert took place when a Syrian intelligence chief, Abnadel Kaim al Jundi, commited suicide in 1968.
