Oké het is in feite geen nieuws, daar ook uit o.a. documenten op Wikileaks al bleek dat de VS op de hoogte was van deze aansturing...... Sterker nog: zelfs de VS heeft terreurgroep IS van wapens voorzien en vervoerde o.a. leden van deze terreurgroep van Libië naar Syrië, om daar te vechten tegen het bewind en de bevolking.......
Ook is al langer bekend, dat S-A alle terreurgroepen in Syrië (behalve IS**), van geld en wapens voorziet.....
Ondanks dat en zoals al vaker op deze plek gesteld: hoe meer bewijs, hoe beter!
In het Zero Hegde artikel aandacht voor een aanval van het 'Vrije Syrische Leger' (Free Syrian Army >> FSA) op burgerdoelen in Damascus. De Saoedische prins Salman bin Sultan gaf deze terreurgroep opdracht om het vliegveld van Damascus plat te gooien en de stad te doen oplichten (met explosies van raketaanvallen). Bij die aanval is een groot aantal burgers omgekomen en hoewel de VS een paar dagen van te voren op de hoogte was van deze enorme oorlogsmisdaad, heeft het daar geen actie op ondernomen.......
Jammer dat ook in dit artikel het Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) wordt genoemd. Dit orgaan, gesitueerd in Engeland, bestond aanvankelijk uit 1 man, een gewezen misdadiger die Syrië ontvluchtte om veroordeling wegens begane misdaden te voorkomen...... Het SOHR heeft aantoonbaar een groot aantal valse berichten de wereld ingestuurd..... Ondanks dat omarmen het grootste deel van de westerse politici en de reguliere westerse (massa-) media dit orgaan, daar het zich verzet tegen de regering Assad, dat is tegenwoordig blijkbaar genoeg om alle leugens in 'westerse waarheid' om te toveren......

Top-Secret NSA Memo Proves Syrian Rebels Were Directed by Saudis — and the US Knew
(ZHE) — The
Intercept has just
released a new top-secret NSA document unearthed
from leaked intelligence files provided by Edward Snowden which
reveals in stunning clarity that the
armed opposition in Syria was under the direct command of foreign
governments from the early years of the war which
has now claimed half a million lives.
The
US intelligence memo – marked “Top Secret” – is
arguably the most damning piece of evidence to date which gives
internal US government confirmation of the direct role that both the
Saudi and US governments played in
fueling an armed insurgency which launched massive and
well-coordinated attacks
on civilians, civilian infrastructure, as well as military targets in
pursuit of regime change. The
NSA report is sourced to the intelligence agency’s
controversial PRISM
program –
which
gives the NSA the ability to sweep up all communications and data
exchanged through major US internet service providers like Google.
The memo focuses on events that unfolded outside Damascus in March of
2013.
One
of the videos that Saudi-backed FSA fighters uploaded to YouTube
identified by The Intercept as showing rockets launched on civilian
areas of Damascus on March 18, 2013. US intelligence knew of the
secret operation three days in advance yet did not stop it.
According
to the document, the
Free Syrian Army (FSA) was ordered
to “light up Damascus” and “flatten” the Syrian capital’s
international airport by Prince Salman bin Sultan –
a prominent member of the Saudi royal family tasked with overseeing
operations in Syria as a top Saudi intelligence officer. The document
further reveals that the “Saudis sent 120 tons of
explosives/weapons to opposition forces” – presumably in the lead
up to the operation.
The
report not only confirms that the assault happened, but that the
Saudi government was “very pleased” with
the outcome: “Attacks
against airport, Presidential palace and other locations occurred on
18 March,”
the memo reads. Also significant is that the
memo confirms US intelligence foreknowledge of the attack on a major
civilian airport: “Reports
gave U.S. three days warning about 18 March 2013 attacks (2 year
anniversary of revolution).”

According to The Intercept, various news reports from the time confirmed significant attacks and damage from FSA-fired rockets upon civilian areas. Not only is Damascus International Airport Syria’s main civilian transport hub – which was used by millions each year before the war – but it remained in daily operation for commercial flights in March 2013, when Saudi intelligence ordered the attacks with knowledge of US intelligence.
A number of videos posted by Syrian opposition media on the day of the attacks purport to show rebel fighters firing rockets at the same sites mentioned in the U.S. document. The March 2013 attacks in Damascus provide a concrete example of the role that foreign powers played in the day-to-day reality of the conflict. A number of videos posted by Syrian opposition media on the day of the attacks purport to show rebel fighters firing rockets at the same sites mentioned in the U.S. document. Local media reports from that day described an attack in which rockets struck within the areas of the presidential palace, a local government security branch, and the airport. A representative of the U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights quoted in a story the next day reporting the attacks, stating that they were unable to confirm whether they resulted in casualties.
However,
The Intercept’s commentary is inaccurate
in claiming that the Syrian Observatory (SOHR) did not report
casualties from the attack as
one of the Arabic
news sources it links to above (Middle East based Alwatan News),
reports:
“The Free Syrian Army targeted Kafr Sousa [an area of Damascus near Mezzeh] and they fired 24 missiles on Damascus airport… 60 people died in yesterday’s attacks, according to the Syrian Observatory.” [as translated by Zero Hedge]
And
intense attacks continued through April and into the summer of 2013
according to international media reports from the time, also
confirmed by a photo
circulated through the AFP*** showing
civilian passengers waiting in airport lounges the month following
the initial March 2013 rocket attacks.
While
the Saudi-US role in fueling
the jihadist insurgency from
the earliest days of the war in Syria has long been thoroughly
documented,
this latest leaked NSA bombshell report provides astoundingly
clear proof that the relationship between the anti-Assad insurgents
and foreign intelligence was even more direct, and existed earlier in
time than
most analyst and mainstream pundits led the public to believe.

==========================================
* 'Gematigde rebellen', lees: moordenaars, verkrachters en martelbeulen, in het westen opgehemeld als romantische rebellen die zich verzetten tegen een 'barbaarse dictator'. Terwijl de realiteit volkomen tegengesteld is aan deze leugens: de meerderheid van deze rebellen bezit niet eens de Syrische nationaliteit! Voorts is het Syrische bewind democratisch gekozen, door een overgrote meerderheid van de bevolking en dat in door internationale waarnemers als eerlijk beoordeelde verkiezingen!
** Behalve IS, zijn alle terreurgroepen ('gematigde rebellen') in Syrië gelieerd aan Al Qaida!
