DTN News - SYRIA UNREST: Funeral For Top Hezbollah Commander Marches in Sidon

DTN News - SYRIA UNREST: Funeral For Top Hezbollah Commander Marches in Sidon
Source: DTN News - - This article compiled by K. V. Seth
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - December 9, 2013: (Sidon, Lebanon) Hezbollah held a funeral procession in the suburb of the coastal city of Sidon Monday for a top military commander who was killed in Syria a day earlier.

 The procession was led by Hezbollah MP Ali Fayyad, the Imam of Haret Sayda Sheikh Abdel-Hussein Abdallah and a Hezbollah Commander, Ali Daoun.

 Ali Bazzi's coffin was carried on the shoulders of Hezbollah members as the commander's friends fired shots in the air.

 The large procession prompted the Lebanese Army to deploy at the northern entrance of the city and in several neighborhoods leading to Haret Sayda.

 Sidon is the home of fugitive Salafi-labelled Sheikh Ahmad Assir who was a staunch critic of Hezbollah and its involvement in the Syrian crisis. Assir and his supporters were engaged in deadly armed clashes against the Army in June.

 Bazzi is originally from the southern town of Bint Jbeil but his family moved to Sidon decades ago. His father owns a shoe shop in the area.

 A Lebanese security source told The Daily Star Sunday that Bazzi was killed in a combat zone.

 The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that Hezbollah fighters were killed during battles in Nabk, one of the last rebel-held areas in the Qalamoun region bordering Lebanon.

 Hezbollah-backed regime forces have launched a military campaign to root out rebel forces in Qalamoun, near the border with Lebanon.

 Residents of southern Lebanon said Sunday that two other Hezbollah fighters – Ali Saleh and Qassem Ghamloush – were also killed in Syria Sunday and buried.

DTN News - SYRIA UNREST: Syrian As Young As 13 Year Old Are Enticed Into The Devious Perpetual Civil War

DTN News - SYRIA UNREST: Syrian As Young As 13 Year Old Are Enticed Into The Devious Perpetual Civil War

(NSI News Source Info) KOTTAKKAL, Kerala, India - October 31, 2013:  Mohammad, a 13 year-old fighter from the Free Syrian Army, plays with a cat in Aleppo's Bustan al-Basha district October 28, 2013. Mohammad joined the Free Syrian Army after his father died during clashes with the Syrian regime. The gun he is using was his father's.

 Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told U.N. envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi on Wednesday that any political solution to the crisis in Syria hinges on outside countries cutting off support to the rebels, according to state-run media.

 The two met in Damascus. It was the first time they've convened since December.

 Brahimi, who is on a Mideast tour to bolster support for peace talks, spoke with al-Assad about the framework for holding a conference in Geneva, Switzerland.

 "Any success for any political solution must be linked to the end of any military support to military groups and to pressure the countries that are supporting these groups and are facilitating the entry of the terrorists and mercenaries into Syria by providing money and military support," al-Assad said during the meeting, according to Syrian state television.

 The Syrian president further said, "This is an important step to prepare the framework to allow a national dialogue and put clear mechanisms to reach the desired objectives at the upcoming peace talks."

 On Tuesday, Syria sacked Vice Premier Qadri Jamil for attending "unauthorized meetings abroad" after, a U.S. State Department official said, Jamil met over the weekend with U.S. Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford in Geneva. Also Tuesday, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem reportedly met with Brahimi to discuss the potential Syria conference in Geneva.

 "Minister al-Moallem affirmed that Syria will participate in the conference on the basis of the Syrian people's exclusive right to decide upon their political future and choosing their leadership, rejecting any form of foreign interference, and having the dialogue in Geneva be between Syrians and led by Syria," the Syrian Arab News Agency reported.
Before being fired, Jamil suggested the conference would be held in November or December.

 The rebels are not optimistic that any conference would yield a viable solution. Nineteen groups turned their backs on potential talks Sunday and warned that engaging the Assad regime was tantamount to treason.

 They further said they would reject any resolution that doesn't oust al-Assad's government and charge it with war crimes.

 "We consider participation in Geneva II and negotiating with the regime is trading the blood of martyrs and treason, and those will be held accountable in our courts," the coalition said in a video statement.

 Brahimi was in Iran on Saturday and appeared at a joint news conference with Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who said Tehran, if invited, would participate in talks aiming to end the war via a political solution, according to Iran's state-run media.

 More than 100,000 people have died in the Syrian conflict, the U.N. estimates. It began in March 2011 after government forces cracked down on peaceful protesters during the Arab Spring movement and is now a full-blown civil war.

DTN News - SYRIA CIVIL WAR: US To Arm Syrian Rebels Within A Month

DTN News - SYRIA CIVIL WAR: US To Arm Syrian Rebels Within A Month
Source: DTN News - - This article compiled by Roger Smith from reliable sources ANI
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - June 27, 2013: Washington - The United States will begin shipping arms to Syrian rebels fighting against President Bashar al-Assad within a month. 

The Central Intelligence Agency has started moving weapons to Jordan from a network of secret warehouses and planned to start arming small groups of Syrian rebels within a month. 

 According to the New York Times, the CIA is expected to spend up to three weeks bringing light arms and possibly anti-tank missiles to Jordan. 

 Talks are under way with other countries, including France, about pre-positioning European-procured weapons in Jordan. 

 Officials and diplomats said Saudi Arabia is expected to provide shoulder-fired antiaircraft missiles, known as Manpads, to a small number of fighters. 

 Obama had decided to arm Syrian rebels after months of White House opposition to the idea. 

 Current and former U.S. officials said that Obama's decision to arm Syrian rebels reflected growing US fears that Assad, bolstered by Iranian and Hezbollah fighters and armed by Russia, will prevail in the conflict, the report said. 
Obama took the decision to arm Syrian rebels after urgent appeals by Saudi Arabia, Jordan and other allies for greater US involvement, it added

DTN News - SYRIA UNREST AL-QAEDA CONNECTION: Turkish Allies Flying 'New al-Qaeda' Fighters To Syria With U.S. Support - Report

DTN News -  SYRIA UNREST AL-QAEDA CONNECTION: Turkish Allies Flying 'New al-Qaeda' Fighters To Syria With U.S. Support - Report
*"A new Al-Qaeda has been created in the region through the financial and logistical backup ofTurkey... and a number of western states, [e]specially the US..."
Source: DTN News - - This article compiled by Roger Smith from reliable sources By Timothy Whiteman - Examiner.com
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - June 24, 2013: Our NATO partner's and long considered one of our closest allies in the Muslim world, the Turks are now reportedly using their national airlines to ferry al-Qaeda terrorists to fight with the rebels in the Syrian Civil War, all with the support and approval of both the American and British governments, as reported by the London-based Muslim news portal Ahlul Bayt News Agency (ABNA) on June 22, 2013.
The Turkish Connection...
Cited only as a military source speaking on the grounds of anonymity, the source accused the Turkish intelligence agency of sending 93 al-Qaeda and Taliban terrorists from their training camps in Pakistan's lawless Waziristan province to the Turkish province of Hatay on the Turkish-Syrian coastal border.
Previous reports by ABNA have cited Turkey's national airline, Turkish Air, of transporting al-Qaeda and Taliban militants from North Waziristan in Pakistan to the Turkish borders with Syria.
According to the covert source, all 93 terrorists were passengers on the Karachi-Istanbul flight route, Turkish Air No. 709 on September 10, 2012.
Reportedly, all those transported were originally from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan and a group of Arabs already residing in Waziristan.
The Iraq Connection...
The anonymous source stated that over 65 percent of the Salafi fighting with the Syrian rebels in the Syrian province of Deir Ezzor are Afghans who have sworn allegiance to the al-Qaeda terrorist organization.
The unidentified source contends that these specific soon-to-be American equipped al-Qaeda fighters entered the eastern Syrian province via Iraq only after completing al-Qaeda training in Iraq.
The Obama Administration Connection...
ABNA reports that with Turkey, the U.S. and various Persian Gulf nations backing them, al-Qaeda has set up a new training camp for Salafi (radical Islamic fundamentalists) and Jihadi (Islamist global domination) terrorists in Northern Waziristan.
"A new Al-Qaeda has been created in the region through the financial and logistical backup of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and a number of western states, [e]specially the US," a source told the Fars News Agency of Iran (FNA) last September.
ABNA quotes FNA's Ali Mahdian that the US and the British governments have been "playing with the al-Qaeda through their Arab proxy regimes in the region in a bid to materialize their goals, specially in Syria."
He went on to state that the Saudi and Qatari regimes serve as go-betweens to "facilitate the CIA and (British) MI6 plans in Syria through instigating terrorist operations by Salafi and Arab Jihadi groups, adding that the terrorists do not know that they actually exercise the US plans."
Yet, the source said the US and Britain are looking at the new Al-Qaeda force as an instrument to attain their goals and do not intend to support them to ascend to power, "because if Salafi elements in Syria ascend to power, they will create many problems for the US, the Western states and Turkey in future."
"Thus, the US, Britain and Turkey are looking at the Al-Qaeda as a tactical instrument," he said, and warned of the regional and global repercussions of the US and Turkish aid to the Al-Qaeda and Salafi groups.
As previously covered by Examiner.com, the Obama Administration has authorized the transfer of American arms and ammunition to the various Syrian rebel groups, to include the largest, the al-Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra li-Ahl al-Sham (The Front for the Protection of the Syrian People), also popularly known as the al-Nusra Front.
