TEHRAN (FNA)- The Syrian army has arrested a large number of Turkmen
nationals fighting alongside the al-Qaeda terrorists against President
Bashar al-Assad's government, media reports said.
Tens of Turkmen terrorists have been arrested by the Syrian army
troops in different parts of Aleppo, the country's second largest city,
Jahineh news website quoted an informed source as saying.
A Salafi group named Marateb is in charge of recruiting Salafi
elements from Turkmenistan and other former Soviet Union republics
and dispatching them to Northern Syria to join armed rebels in those
areas, the source said.
"And now the Syrian army has managed to arrest tens of these Salafi
elements, including Roshan Gazakov," he added.
The source explained that Gazakov, along with his wife and five
children, arrived in Syria several months ago and as he was recruited
by Marateb.
In June, the Russian television channels showed that Syrian forces had
arrested Roshan Gazakov nicknamed Abu Abdollah, the ringleader of an
al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group who claimed to be a Turkmen national.
Gazakov said that he travelled from Turkmenistan to Istanbul and then
to borders with Syria where in an al-Qaeda camp he was trained on how
to professionally make bombs by trainers from former Soviet union,
Europe, Jordan and Qatar.
Gazakov noted that he had a choice to make between two terrorist
groups of Lava Ahrar al-Sham and Katibeh al-Mohajerin.
"The Syrian troops have gained access to videos showing Gazakov
training his young child on how to use Kalashnikov rifle and also
planting bombs in a car to be used later in suicide attacks," the
source added.
