Breitbart.com reports: “Syrian Interior Minister Anas Khattab announced on Monday that ‘a number of criminals involved in the attack’ on a church in Damascus have been arrested.

The Greek Orthodox Church of the Prophet Elias was hit by a gun and suicide bomb attack on Sunday, killing at least 25 people and wounding dozens more.

Khattab said government forces carried out raids on ‘locations linked to cells of the terrorist organization Islamic State in the Damascus countryside.’ Syrian officials unanimously blame ISIS for the attack, although there has been no formal claim of responsibility as of Tuesday morning.

The Interior Ministry said the raids resulted in the arrest of an alleged terrorist cell leader and the capture of five of its members. Two other terrorists were killed in the raids. One of them was the ‘primary individual involved in facilitating the suicide bomber’s entry into the church,’ while the other was ‘preparing to carry out a second terrorist attack in another neighborhood of the capital.’

Security officials seized weapons, ammunition, and explosive devices during the raids, including suicide vests and a booby-trapped motorcycle…”
