More Evidence of the British-Saudi-Al-Qaeda 9/11 Coalition Against Syria

Printable version / Version imprimable

The growing pile of evidence of the intervention of Al Qaeda in Syria puts the lie to the assertion by the West that Assad has to be removed for humanitarian reasons, for the good of the Syria people. Al Qaeda was created as a joint project of the US, Britain, and the Saudis in the 1980s to be used against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. When that ended, AQ was able to run riot in Afghanistan, the Middle East, and the Horn of Africa, turning on at least one of its sponsors, the US. But then, after years of the so-called war on terror, the US under British Empire puppet, Obama, is back to sponsoring Al Qaeda, or some portion of it, first in Libya, last year, and now in Syria. Libyan and Iraqi-based al Qaeda fighters have already been reported in Syria, with support of the same British, Saudi, and Qatari special forces who supported them in Libya.

Within hours after a McClatchy News story reported that US intelligence officials believe that Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) was behind a series of suicide bombings that have taken place inside Syria, Iraqi officials confirmed that Iraq-based militants are indeed making their way from northern Iraq into Syria. Deputy Interior Minister Adnan al-Assadi told AFP that not only militants, but also weapons are being smuggled from Iraq to Syria, using the same networks that were smuggling weapons and fighters into Iraq from Syria during the worst period of the US occupation of Iraq. "We have intelligence information that a number of Iraqi jihadists went to Syria," al Assadi told AFP in an interview. "The weapons are transported from Baghdad to Nineveh and the prices of weapons in Mosul are higher now because they are being sent to the opposition in Syria." As if that weren’t enough, AQI put out a statement on its website welcoming the arrival of Iraqi jihadists in Syria.

Meanwhile, Ayman Zawahiri, the global Al Qaeda network’s nominal leader, made it official, late yesterday, that Al Qaeda has joined the British-Saudi coalition against the Assad regime of Syria. Zawahiri issued a videotaped message, yesterday, calling on Muslims in Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan, and Iraq to join the uprising against the Assad government. "Wounded Syria still bleeds day after day, while the butcher, son of the butcher Bashar bin Hafiz is not deterred to stop," he said. "But the resistance of our people in Syria despite all the pain, sacrifice and bloodshed escalates and grows."
