Syrian intelligence chief killed in Deir al-Zour

A senior Military Intelligence officer has been killed in eastern Syria, state media and activists say.
State television reported on Thursday that Gen Jamaa Jamaa had died while "carrying out his national duties" and "pursuing terrorists" in Deir al-Zour.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said he was shot by a sniper during clashes between government and rebel forces in the city's Rashdiya district.
Gen Jamaa was close to President Bashar al-Assad, the UK-based group added.
He was commander of Syrian Military Intelligence's headquarters in Lebanon's capital, Beirut, when former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was assassinated there in 2005.
Gen Jamaa was questionedas part of a UN inquiry into the killing after the Syrian withdrawal. Damascus has always denied any involvement, although five members of the allied Lebanese Shia Islamist group Hezbollah have been indicted.
In 2006, the US Treasury named Gen Jamaa as a Specially Designated National, saying he had "significantly contributed to the Syrian government's military and security presence in Lebanon".
Activists say there have been fierce clashes in Deir al-Zour city in recent days
Al-Arabiya TV reported that at the time of his death Gen Jamaa was head of Military Intelligence in Deir al-Zour province, and was one of the most powerful security officials in the country.
The Aisha bin al-Sadiq Brigade said one of its fighters had shot him.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory said he was killed during clashes between troops and members of the al-Nusra Front, an al-Qaeda-affiliated group, and Liwa al-Fatihun min Ard al-Sham.
There were air strikes and fierce clashes overnight in several districts of Deir al-Zour after state television reported Gen Jamaa's death, during which jihadists executed 10 soldiers, the group added.
