TEHRAN (FNA)- The Syrian army killed a notorious Al-Qaeda terrorist
ringleader and tens of his men in Northern Syria.
The army on Monday killed Muhamed al-Majeri nicknamed Abu Abdelrahman
al-Tunisi in clashes with terrorists on Ain Issa-Reqqa road. Al-Tunisi
was the military commander of al-Qaeda in Syria and Iraq.
The Syrian army also killed tens of al-Tunisi's companions in Ain
Issa-Reqqa road.
Meantime, the Syrian army repelled attacks by the armed rebels on
the army's Reqqa Battalion killing 30 of the rebels and injuring
dozens more.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized
attacks by well-armed gangs and terrorists against Syrian forces and
civilians being reported across the country.
The US and its western and regional allies have long sought to
topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his ruling system. Media
reports said that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups have received
significantly more and better weapons, a crime paid for by the Persian
Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States.
The US daily, Washington Post, reported in May 2012 that the Syrian
rebels and terrorist groups battling 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 last 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.
