A former member of al-Qaeda has said the leader of al-Nusra Front,
the primary terrorist group in Syria fighting against the government
of President Bashar al-Assad, is a CIA operative.
"I personally believe that the leader of the Nusra Army who declared
his support for Ayman al-Zawahiri, is a CIA operative in the al-Nusra,"
Sheikh Nabil Naiim, who led an al-Qaeda training camp in Egypt,
made the revelation in a recent video testimony.
Addressing the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra militants, Naiim said,
"You are fighting the war in Syria on America's behalf."
Naiim, who has renounced violence, also identified al-Qaeda chief
Ayman al-Zawahiri as a U.S. double agent.
Abu Mohammed al-Jawlani, the head of the terrorist al-Nusra Front,
pledged allegiance to al-Zawahiri on April 10.
Naiim was a high profile militant in Egypt and is believed to have
been involved in the assassination of former Egyptian president Anwar
al-Sadat in 1981. He was released from prison after the regime of
Hosni Mobarak collapsed in February 2011.
He said the United States funded and supported al-Qaeda in Afghanistan
for 18 years and that he was personally "fooled by an American plot."
The United Nations Security Council has added the al-Nusra Front
operating in Syria to the UN sanctions blacklist.
The terrorist group has been behind hundreds of deadly bombings
targeting both government and civilian institutions including hospitals
and schools across Syria since the conflict began in March 2011.
The group is also responsible for killing American troops in Iraq.
According to U.S. media reports, the U.S. military has been secretly
training some militant groups since November last year.
The United States has begun shipping weapons to Jordan to arm the
militants in neighboring Syria, after the White House said the Syrian
government had sued chemical weapons against the militants. Damascus
has strongly rejected the allegation.
Damascus says the conflict is being engineered from outside the
country, and there are reports that a very large number of the
militants fighting in Syria are foreign nationals.
