It is worth noting that the engineer “Jihad” is one of the most skilled Syrian engineers in the maintenance of power plants and an employee of Baniyas’ power plant.
According to Syrian Observatory sources, the engineer had received threats from loyalists of regime security services because of his post on his personal Facebook account, in which he criticised rampant corruption in regime institutions.
