Syrian Transitional Government Interior Ministry spokesman Nuruddin Baba said on the 13th that the gunman who attacked the Syrian-US joint patrol in Homs province in central Syria that day was a Syrian security officer who may have extremist views. In a telephone interview with Syrian national television, Nurdin Baba revealed that there are more than 5,000 security personnel belonging to the Syrian Ministry of the Interior in the eastern desert region of Syria, and these people are assessed every week. The results of the evaluation of the gunman on the 10th of this month showed that he may have extremist views, and the Ministry of the Interior was originally scheduled to make a decision on how to deal with him on the 14th. Nuruddin Baba stressed that the gunman did not hold a leading position in the security service and had nothing to do with the security sector leadership. He said that the Syrian security department had issued an early warning that the extremist group “Islamic State” might launch an attack or infiltrate, but the US side ignored it. The Syrian Ministry of the Interior is conducting an investigation to determine whether the gunman was directly organized with the “Islamic State”
