TEHRAN – One of al-Qaeda ringleaders in Yemen disclosed that the US and certain regional states plan to dispatch al-Qaeda terrorists from Yemen to Syria to help their counterparts intensify attacks against the Syrian people.
Tariq al-Fazli, who made the revelation, said that based on a regional agreement between the US and its regional proxies, the armed groups affiliated to the al-Qaeda in Yemen, specially a group called Ansar al-Sharia which are stationed in the Southern parts of the country, will be transferred to Syria.
According to al-Haqiqa news website, Fazli didn’t specify the countries involved in the agreement, but his remarks alluded to the Yemeni, Qatari and Saudi regimes along with the US.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border guards being reported across the country.
In October, calm was eventually restored in the Arab state after President Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but Israel, the US and its Arab allies are seeking hard to bring the country into chaos through any possible means. Tel Aviv, Washington and some Arab capitals have been staging various plots in the hope of stirring unrests in Syria once again.
The US and its western and regional allies have long sought to topple Bashar al-Assad and his ruling system. Media reports said that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups have received significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States.
The US daily, Washington Post, reported in May that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups battling the President Bashar al-Assad’s government have received significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States.
The newspaper, quoting opposition activists and US and foreign officials, reported that Obama administration officials emphasized the administration has expanded contacts with opposition military forces to provide the Persian Gulf nations with assessments of rebel credibility and command-and-control infrastructure.
Opposition activists who several months ago said the rebels were running out of ammunition said in May that the flow of weapons – most bought on the black market in neighboring countries or from elements of the Syrian military in the past – has significantly increased after a decision by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Persian Gulf states to provide millions of dollars in funding each month.
