Two relatives of Assad ‘arrested at Beirut airport with fake passports’

Two of Bashar al-Assad’s relatives have been arrested at Beirut airport with forged passports, while his uncle, who is wanted for war crimes, has flown to Dubai.

Syria’s embassy in Lebanon suspended consular services “until further notice” on Saturday after the discovery of fake identification documents belonging to the wife and daughter of one of Assad’s cousins.

Rasha Khazem, the wife of Duraid Assad, and their daughter Shams, were smuggled illegally into Lebanon and were trying to fly to Egypt when they were arrested, The New Arab reported.

According to the Associated Press, they had been using passports believed to have been forged at the embassy.
