Syria's new authorities on Thursday launched a crackdown in a Bashar al-Assad stronghold where 14 security personnel were killed a day before, vowing to pursue "remnants" of the ousted regime. Security forces clashed with locals in Tartus province on Wednesday when attempting to arrest an officer linked to the notorious Saydnaya prison.
