Syrian director Bassam Mohieddine, who was educated in Bulgaria, has been murdered during the continuing civil strife in his country.
Bassam Mohieddine was killed on Sunday in a Damascus suburb that the army of the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad took over from the rebels, the Syrian National Institute announced in a communique Wednesday, as cited by BGNES.
Mohieddine comes from Syria's Alawite minority, to which Syrian President Bashar al-Assad also belongs, while the majority of the Syrians and the Syrian rebels are Sunni Muslims, international media point out.
Bassam Mohieddine, who was born in 1955 in Tartus, is a graduate of Bulgaria's National Academy for Theater and Film Arts.
