Ahmed Sharaa, the first Syrian leader to visit the White House, has gained international recognition. But his biggest challenges remain at home.

Prosecutors say a Syrian security official accused of torture hid in plain sight in Europe for years, protected by Israeli and Austrian intelligence agents.

The killings happened in the village of Anaz in Wadi al-Nasara, or the Valley of the Christians – an area of rolling hills in rural Homs province in western Syria. Locals say the gunman came from the direction of a nearby Sunni Muslim village.

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa met with President Donald Trump Monday in the White House. Trump paused sanctions on Syria for six months.

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa has arrived in the United States for an official visit, according to state media, during which Washington hopes to enlist Damascus in its global coalition against ISIL, or ISIS.

Syria launches a multi-province operation to dismantle Islamic State cells, timed with interim leader Ahmed al-Sharaa’s upcoming US visit focused on counterterrorism.
