Air Force Intelligence Directorate
text:
The Air Force Intelligence Directorate is an intelligence service of Syria, possibly the country's most powerful agency, owing its importance to Hafez al-Assad's role as the Air Force commander.
Despite its name, it is mainly involved with issues other than air force intelligence, and took an active part in the suppression of the Muslim Brotherhood rebellion in the 1980s. Agents of this service have frequently been stationed in Syrian embassies or branch offices of the national airline.
