, amid a rise in anti-government protests in the Arab country.

The terror group, which was armed with heavy weapons and explosives, was captured in the city of al-Dumair -- home to a major airbase in the country -- two days ago, Syria's Arab News Agency (SANA) reported.

on Friday, the group was planning to attack the main military bases as well as economic and government facilities in Syria.

The detainees alleged that they had smuggled ammunition into the country from neighboring Leb and hid them in towns close to the capital.

One of the suspects said the group was recruiting members in rural areas, urging people to protest and vandalize public property.

Syria has been witnessing violent pro-reform protests since mid-March.

While the opposition accuses the security forces of being behind the killings, Syrian authorities blame gangs and foreign elements for the violence, saying security forces have been given clear instructions not to hurt civilians.

Damascus had previously announced the arrest of members of armed terrorist groups, saying that they had also confessed to receiving weapons and money from foreign organizations to kill civilians and security forces in a bid to cause chaos in the country.
