Jamal Maarouf die gesteund wordt door de VS zegt open en bloot dat hij geen probleem heeft met Al Nusra (Al Qaeda) en samen met hen vecht tegen Assad en zelfs wapens levert als ze die nodig hebben. Een grove leugen dus dat de VS enkel 'gematigde' groepen van wapens voorziet.

"It’s clear that I’m not fighting against Al Qaeda," Maarouf said. "This is a problem outside of Syria’s border, so it’s not our problem. I don’t have a problem with anyone who fights against the regime inside Syria."
Perhaps more worryingly for western state, he admits to having "shared" his arms with Islamist fighters at times, most notably during the bloody battle for Yabroud, which eventually fell to regime forces backed by Hezbollah - though not before inflicting severe casualties to pro-regime forces.
"If the people who support us tell us to send weapons to another group, we send them. They asked us a month ago to send weapons to Yabroud so we sent a lot of weapons there. When they asked us to do this, we do it," Maarouf stated.
