-Bassam was the head of Asads infamous chemical weapons program and fled to Lebanon following the collapse of the government in 2024
-He has been given protection by the FBI, CIA and other American authorities due to willingness to provide information regarding the abduction of American journalist Austin Tice in Syria in 2012, as well as other intelligence
-Despite being sanctioned by the US government, the arrangement gives him protection and covers his living expenses with US money
-At least two other former Syrian government officials have similar arrangements, though also involving the UAE, including Bassams nephew who was the head of a pro government militia
-Bassam initially fled to Iran but was brought to Lebanon via US negotiations with irany

The firing squad execution of a Muslim ex-U.S. army psychiatrist who killed 13 American soldiers in Texas will be livestreamed.
US defence secretary Pete Hegseth said the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, which is set to take place on December 3, would be "public".
Donald Trump earlier this week approved the method of execution for Hasan, a former army major who killed 13 soldiers in a shooting spree at Fort Hood military base in 2009.
Hasan said the attack was in retaliation for US wars in the Middle East and to protect Taliban fighters in Afghanistan.
