Syria: Another CIA Supplied Group
Hands Its Weapons To Al-Qaeda

- Syria's Idleb province is held by Jabhat al-Nusra,
aka al-Qaeda in Syria, and Ahrar al Sham with a
sprinkling of "moderates" added to the mix. While
Nusra and Ahrar have support from Turkey, Saudi
Arabia and Qatar, the "moderates" are supported by
the CIA which provides them with anti-tank weapons.
When in
2013 these groups stormed government held positions
in Idleb, Nusra, Ahrar and Islamic State Jihadis
were leading the fighting and employed suicide
bombers. Their attacks were supported by electronic
warfare measures from Turkey which disabled the
Syrian Army's communication. The CIA "moderates"
were integrated as anti-tank teams using their U.S.
supplied weapons in support of the Jihadi offense.
The U.S.
supported groups in Idleb are currently grouped
under the moniker "Division 13" or "Brigade 13". The
cessation of hostilities in Syria means that all
these "moderates" in Idleb province have time to
discuss their ideological differences. Jenan

Syria from a mostly pro-opposition standpoint and

"not-so-moderate" Jihadis.

Nusra

Yesterday Nusra had meeting in Idleb with
activists & local Syrian journalist urging them
all not to carry FSA flags, only Jihadi banners.
Here full video of Nusra attack on protestors in
Maaret ElNoman. Its seriously amazing some dared
to carry FSA flag

Anti
regime protests also in Sarmada, Harem &Darkoush
in Idleb province. Protestors carried both FSA
&Jihadi banners
In
Nusra mentality, FSA flag seen as 'pro-democracy
&pro-secularism'. They have banned it but can't
yet enforce ban in their territories.
Moment when Nusra attacked AbuElias AlMaaeri,
local anti-Assad celebrity. They took his mic
for singing FSA slogans

On Saturday
some reports from Idleb claimed that Division 13
fighters, enraged that their propaganda protests
were disrupted by Nusra, attacked some Nusra
positions and fighters in Idleb.

Nusra (AlQaeda in Syria) is right now attacking
HQ of FSA-group "Brigade 13" in Maraat Nouman,
Khan Sheikhun, AlGhadfa, Jbala &Heesh>

Nusra (AlQaeda
Syria) is trying 2destroy last FSA groups in
Idlib, who r already weak. Just like Nusra
destroyed Jamal Marouf &Hazem before.
If
thing continue like this, FSA group division 13
will cease 2 exit in morning. Nusra (AlQaeda in
Syria) will destroy them tonight.
Nusra (AlQaeda
in Syria) kills 4 FSA fighters from Division 13
as they attack their HQs in Maaret AlNoman. #Idlib
Nusra (AlQaeda
in #Syria) &Jund AlAqsa gathering their troops 2
attack main HQ of FSA division 13 in Maaret
Noman.
I am
hearing that Nusra (AlQaeda in Syria)
confiscated weapons of FSA Division13. If true,
Division 13 receives U.S weapons including TOWs.
FSA
Brigade13 says their main specialist in firing
(US-supplied) TOW rockets at SAA tanks "attacked
w/ RPG by Nusra"
2
versions. Nusra says FSA attacked us first. FSA
says we are weaker why would we attack? Nusra
attacked us first.
And that,
dear folks, was the predictable end of the last
"moderate" Jihadi group with direct U.S. support in
Idleb. The CIA supplied weapons, lots of TOWs but
allegedly also including anti-air MANPADs, are now,
like on earlier occasions, in the hands of al-Qaeda.
Excellent
job Mr. Brennan! |
