damascus - Syrian rebels uncover a vast underground tunnel network beneath Maher al-Assad's house in Damascus, potentially used for storing gold and weapons. The discovery raises questions about military infrastructure and hidden shelters in war-torn Syria.

Syrian rebels have stumbled upon secret tunnels located beneath the residence of Maher al-Assad, the brother of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. These tunnels appear to connect two houses, leading to a luxurious compound. The network of tunnels features multiple bedrooms and sitting areas furnished with sofas and desks. Both Maher's house and the underground compound are described as cluttered. At the bottom of the compound, a staircase with rails leads to a network of spacious tunnels, resembling a bunker. The tunnels are equipped with ventilation systems and locks, with mechanical doors operated by the push of a button.

According to the rebels, the underground network served as a storage site for the Assad family to stash gold and weapons. A video caption states, 'An extensive tunnel complex beneath Maher Assad's country estate, wide enough for trucks to drive through carrying the drug Captagon and gold.'

Captagon is a drug composed of amphetamine and theophylline, known as the 'cocaine of the poor' and the 'jihad drug'. Its popularity among jihadists stems from its ability to enhance concentration while suppressing sleep and hunger. Numerous small crates found scattered throughout the 'mansion' further suggest its association with drug trafficking.

Maher al-Assad's house holds a strategic position in the city of Damascus. The discovery of the family bunker raises concerns regarding military infrastructure and potential additional hiding spots. Therefore, the lavish tunnel system is now considered a significant location within the protracted Syrian conflict.
