Do you recognize the second guy from the left? That’s Nouh Zeiter, Lebanon’s most notorious and wanted drug lord. To his left is Bashar al-Assad’s cousin, Wassim. To his right is Muhamamd Zaroor, a security officer in the Fourth Division, headed by Bashar’s brother, Maher.

What more do you need to believe that Bashar al-Assad is the head of the cartel? He knows that everyone knows, so covering it up seems like a waste of time.
