"Syria's Intelligence Services: A Primer" (July 2000) (1216 words)
Syria's four main intelligence services are (or were) directly under the control of the Syrian president and have overlapping functions so that the regime is not overly dependent on any one of them.
None of the services are permitted full access to information about all of its counterparts or the identities of agents working in the other services.
Syria's military intelligence service, headquartered at the Defense Ministry complex in Damascus, is formally responsible for the usual range of military surveillance operations, planning, etc. that one would expect.
