TEHRAN (FNA)- Israel's spy agency, Mossad, is recruiting Algerian
young men to send them to Syria to help the other foreign-backed
terrorists in the fight against the Syrian people and government,
an Algerian newspaper revealed on Wednesday.
Informed sources who asked to remain anonymous told the Algerian daily
al-Fajr that the activities of Salafi groups in the country are under
the supervision of Mossad and these groups coax the Algerian young
men into getting involved in what they call as "Jihad in Syria" and
includes killing civilians and increasing insecurity in the country.
The sources said that the Salafi groups in Algeria are in direct
contact with their religious fellows in Tunisia and also receive
different financial and military aid from Qatar.
In relevant remarks earlier this week, a senior Austrian officer
disclosed the logistic, military and medical assistance of Israel to
the terrorist groups fighting in Syria.
"Israel crosses the border with Syria very often and interferes in
Syria's border villages at an unimaginable rate and these interferences
include assistance and aid (to the rebel and terrorist groups)
in various logistic, military and medical grounds," the Austrian
officer, who asked to remain anonymous, said in an interview with
the Palestinian weekly al-Manar on Monday.
He also said that Israel and the terrorist groups have joint operation
rooms in the bordering areas between Syria and the occupied Palestinian
territories to coordinate their activities and facilitate assistance
to the rebel groups.
The officer who had been deployed in the Golan Heights within the
framework of multi-national forces in recent months said that Israel
also hosts and treats the wounded members of the rebel groups in field
hospitals and clinical centers near the bordering areas, specially
Zaif hospital in Safad city.
In relevant development, security sources in the Qatari government
disclosed on Sunday that Israel has sent its Coordinator on Syrian
Affairs Afif Shavit to a meeting with Qatari officials in London late
in May to discuss supply of more arms to the rebel groups fighting
the Syrian government.
"The 4-hour meeting was held in a house in Braum House in London
belonging to Khalid a-Abeed, a Qatari citizen residing in Britain,
on May 20," the source, who asked to remain anonymous due to the
sensitivity of his information and for fear of his life, told FNA.
"During the meeting, It was decided that Israel prepare and supply the
weapons needed by the terrorists in Syria and enter negotiations with
European arms manufacturing companies on arms purchases and money
transfer methods, and the Qatari side cover the funds and needed
budget for purchases," added the source.
The meeting was held at a time when the EU decided to lift the
arms embargo on foreign-backed militants in Syria. British Foreign
Secretary William Hague said on May 28 that European Union foreign
ministers meeting in Brussels have reached an agreement to lift the
arms embargo on militants in Syria, while maintaining other sanctions
on the country. The EU also decided to allow the European banks to
open branches and accounts in Syria for use by the opposition.
It also coincided with US Republican Senator John McCain's surprise
visit to Syria in late May during which he urged the administration
of President Barack Obama to send heavy arms and logistic aid to
Syrian rebels.
On the other side, the Qatari government plays the role of a
facilitator and the financial supporter of the rebel and terrorist
groups in Syria. The British newspaper Financial Times published
an investigation in May which revealed that Qatar spent billions
of dollars in the past two years to fund the Syrian terrorist and
rebel groups.
"Qatar has spent about three billion dollars in the past two years to
support the opposition in Syria, which far exceeds what provided by
any other government. However, Saudi Arabia competes now in leading
the bodies providing Syrian opposition with weapons," the paper said.
"The cost of the Qatari intervention in Syria only represents a very
small part of the international investment of Qatar," it added.
FT claimed that Qatari support for the Syrian opposition overwhelms
the western support.
The UK daily also noted that during scores of interviews it made with
militant opposition leaders at home and abroad, along with senior
western and regional officials, everyone stressed the growing role of
Qatar in the Syrian crisis, and this has become a controversial issue.
The paper pointed out that "the small state with huge appetite" is
the largest donor of aid to the Syrian opposition, offering generous
grants for dissidents, amounting fifty thousand dollars per year for
the dissident and his family, according to some estimates.
Sources close to the Qatari government said that the total spending
on the Syrian crisis reached $3bln.
"According to the Institute for Peace Research in Stockholm which
tracks the arms supply to the Syrian opposition," the paper added,
"Qatar is the largest arms exporter to Syria, where it funded more
than 70 cargo flights of weapons to neighboring Turkey between April
2012 and March 2013."
Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized
attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border
guards being reported across the country.
Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have
been killed, when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes.
The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups
for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated
from abroad.
In October 2011, calm was almost restored in the Arab state after
President Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but
Israel, the US, its Arab allies and Turkey sought hard to bring the
country into chaos through any possible means. Tel Aviv, Washington
and some Arab capitals have been staging various plots to topple
President Bashar al-Assad, who is well known in the world for his
anti-Israeli stances.
