Al-Qaida turns tide for rebels in battle for eastern Syria In his latest exclusive dispatch from Deir el-Zour province, Ghaith Abdul-Ahad meets fighters who have left the Free Syrian Army for the discipline and ideology of global jihad.But these were not average members of the Free Syrian Army. Abu Khuder and his men fight for al-Qaida. They call themselves the ghuraba'a, or "strangers", after a famous jihadi poem celebrating Osama bin Laden's time with his followers in the Afghan mountains |

![]() ASIAONE - Libyan fighters join Syrian revolt against Assad
BEIRUT - Veteran fighters of last year's civil war in Libya have come to the front-line in Syria, helping to train and organise rebels under conditions far more dire than those in the battle against Muammar Gaddafi, a Libyan-Irish fighter has told Reuters. Hussam Najjar hails from Dublin, has a Libyan father and Irish mother and goes by the name of Sam. A trained sniper, he was part of the rebel unit that stormed Gaddafi's compound in Tripoli a year ago, led by Mahdi al-Harati, a powerful militia chief from Libya's western mountains.Harati now leads a unit in Syria, made up mainly of Syrians but also including some foreign fighters, including 20 senior members of his own Libyan rebel unit. He asked Najjar to join him from Dublin a few months ago, Najjar said. The Libyans aiding the Syrian rebels include specialists in communications, logistics, humanitarian issues and heavy weapons, he said. They operate training bases, teaching fitness and battlefield tactics. |

![]() Digital Journal -
![]() The leader of the newly established Tripoli Military Council is Abdelhakim Belhadj, the former head of the terrorist Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), which was banned internationally as a terrorist organization after the 9/11 attacks !!!!! The Arab newspaper, Asharq Al-Awsat which ran an article about him yesterday under the headline “From Holy warrior to hero of a revolution,” says Belhadj took over command of LIFG from Abu Laith al-Libi, a top Al Qaeda leader in Afghanistan. Known within Islamist circles by his alias “Abu Abdullah Assadaq," Belhadj has a reputation as a very experienced mujaheddin commander, who fought alongside Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan. After the fall of the Taliban, Belhadj left Afghanistan for Iran and then onto various other Muslim countries, until he was later arrested in Malaysia by the CIA. After questioning, he suffered rendition to Libya, where he was jailed by Gaddafi in 2004 along with 1,800 other members of the LIFG. Despite his close cooperation with Al Qaeda, Belhadj refused Bin Laden's appeals to let the LIFG become part of its organization because of differences over tactics and in 2010, (*) he was released on the promise that he had renounced violence. (* Desalniettemin weten we dankzij het VN-rapport dat het LIFG zich met AQ verenigde in 2007) Abdelhakim Belhadj reportedly led the assault on Gaddafi's Bab al-Aziziyah compound and is gaining ground amongst rebel fighters.as one of the most popular leaders and figureheads of the Libyan revolution. His appointment reflects the growing influence of Islamists generally among radicalized militiamen. Reporters have remarked upon the increasing number of beards being grown by fighters and videos frequently testify to their prominence and ubiquity in events. The Islamic combatants have gained notoriety for being some of the best and most daring fighters during the revolution. Belhadj's own militia is estimated to have 800-1,000 fighters, but their members individually have also become leaders of many other militias. Particularly worrying is that they are very influential in the leadership of the strongest militia, the February 17th Martyrs Brigade, which is led by the cleric Ismail al-Sallabi and has a strong presence both in the east, the Western Mountains and Misrata. Members of the Martyrs Brigade were initially pinpointed as possible suspects in the assassination of the rebels' chief commander, General Younes. However, Belhadj's group is not the only Islamic militia operating. There are many different ones. Also implicated in Younes' death is another influential, radical Islamic militia called the Abu Ubaidah bin Jarrah Brigade. They are fervently opposed to NATO intervention and refuse to fight under the command ex-Gaddafi men in the NTC, which they call the NATO/NTC “infidels.” Amazingly and somewhat strangely, they are in charge of much of the "internal security" for the liberated areas and it was their people who were sent by the NTC to arrest General Younes. CNN reported that the Islamic extremists got a huge boost this weak when 600 Islamist extremists were released from prison by the rebels. They are mostly Salafists, a radical puritanical group, whose members in Egypt have been responsible for inciting violent, sectarian attacks on Coptic Christians. Al-Qaida-fighter Abdul Hakim Belhadj is now Military Commander of Tripoli. Screenshot from Youtube Al-Qaida-fighter Abdul Hakim Belhadj is now Military Commander of Tripoli. Like this image Interviewed by CNN, a former commander in the LIFG, who has become a campaigner against extremism, Noman Benotman, said "This is potentially a very dangerous development. Nobody knows what these released prisoners are going to do next. Will they take part in the fighting and if they do will they join pre-existing rebel brigades or form a separate fighting force?" Many of those imprisoned fought in Iraq, contributing to its collapse into chaos. They, therefore, have the knowledge and skills, which could be used to reproduce a similar situation in Libya or to exploit one, should it develop. According to Benotman there are also many other types of radical Islamist groups, whose younger members may be working with foreign militants and may even have set up training camps. But, most worrisome is that they will be able to train with some of the best and most sophisticated weapons, which are in plentiful supply. The Los Angeles Times reported an expert, who pointed out that there are 523 arms bunkers known about and until now the rebels have only been able to put a minimum number of guards on a small minority of them. The UK Guardian reported yesterday that all of Gaddafi's stockpiles of mustard gas, which were being monitored by NATO, have now disappeared. Furthermore, it quotes Peter Bouckaert, the emergencies director at Human Rights Watch, who was in Libya in the spring and reported seeing thousands of shoulder-launched Soviet Sam-7 anti-aircraft missiles in unguarded ammunition dumps around the country. He said there is also a great threat from all other munitions, “like tank shells and artillery shells which can easily be turned into car bombs." Bouckaert even found stocks of napalm! The potential for an Islamist insurgency shouldn't be underestimated, nor the destruction it could bring. In neighboring Algeria during the 1990s, a fundamentalist group, the GIA, started an uprising which cost 250,000 lives. Like the LIFG, many of the GIA were “Afghans”-those who had fought in Afghanistan and like the LIFG, they did not belong directly to the Al Qaeda group, but had worked with it. Later a group of Salafists, like those just released from prison in Libya, split from the GIA and formed “Al Qaeda in the Maghreb.” Yemen, where the local Al Qaeda is strong, is a country awash with weapons, with at least 3 guns for every 1 person. Libya is fast becoming something similar. Controlling this now is going to be virtually impossible and is causing grave concerns for the West, who are afraid that sophisticated weapons could be sold to Islamic extremists in many countries. They are demanding that the NTC does something quickly and its even possible that special forces will get involved. Commenting on the NTC's ability to control the flow of arms, former head of the State Department's Office of Conventional Arms Threat Reduction, Christian Kessler said "My guess is that the closest thing they have to inventory on ammo is, 'Nuts, we're getting low, find some more.'" "We need to assume that X percent of the inventory will leak," and added, "Where it leaks to, how badly it leaks, those are guesses." Many rebels themselves are looting the arsenals for personal weapons or guns to sell. One can be sure that extremists also haven't let the opportunities pass them by. Abdelhakim Belhadj and his group have renounced terrorism. The LIFG has renamed itself the Islamic Movement for Change (IMC) and says it accepts democracy within an Islamic state. Benotman hopes they may even be a force to halt the rise of violent fundamentalist groups. There is no doubt now that Islamist groups are going to play a very influential role in post-war Libya. The Wall Street Journal reported that at the press conference on Friday, Belhadj said that the Tripoli Military Council “was the first step in a process to bring the fighters into a new national army.” He looks like becoming one its senior commanders. The IMC has sworn loyalty to the TNC under the so-called Union of Revolutionary Forces. We can only hope it stays that way. However, the very fact that a former leader of the terrorist Libyan Islamic Fighting Group is now head of the Tripoli Military Council, is a warning of just how real the threat of Islamist extremism is. |

![]() Rand Coorporation - Al Qaeda's War for Syria
![]() The United States and its allies should consider opening a second front in the Syrian war. In addition to helping end Bashar Assad's rule, there is a growing need to conduct a covert campaign against al Qaeda and other extremist groups gaining a presence in the country. While al Qaeda makes up a small part of the resistance movement, its strength appears to be rising. Since last December, al Qaeda has conducted roughly two dozen attacks, primarily against Syrian security service targets. Virtually all have been suicide attacks and car bombings, and they have resulted in more than 200 deaths and 1,000 injuries. According to estimates from one intelligence service in the region, al Qaeda has doubled its ranks to at least 200 full-time operatives—veterans of the Iraq jihad, small numbers of foreign fighters, and local extremist recruits. Al Qaeda's presence appears to be growing in several cities, especially Aleppo, Damascus, Deraa and Idlib, where the group has established cells. Its leadership structure is headed by Abu Muhammad al-Julani, a veteran jihadist. What explains al Qaeda's rise? One factor is the draw of a new jihad—smack in the middle of the Arab world. While roughly three quarters of Syria's Muslims are Sunni, the government is ruled by a minority Alawite sect. For Sunni extremist groups like al Qaeda, such a government in Sunni territory is unacceptable. Al Qaeda in Syria (often operating as the "Al Nusra Front for the People of the Levant") is using traffickers—some ideologically aligned, some motivated by money—to secure routes through Turkey and Iraq for foreign fighters, most of whom are from the Middle East and North Africa. A growing number of donors from the Persian Gulf and Levant appear to be sending financial support, according to U.S. Treasury Department officials I interviewed. In addition, al Qaeda in Iraq has provided important direction and support. Since 2003, Syria has been the primary transit hub for foreign fighters headed to Iraq. Now the tables have turned. Al Qaeda in Iraq, led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, has apparently sent small arms and light weapons—including rifles, light machine guns, and rocket propelled grenades—to its Syrian contingent. It has also sent explosives experts to augment the Syrian contingent's bomb-making capabilities, plus fighters to boost its ranks. Julani and other al Qaeda leaders in Syria have begun to establish an organized political and military structure. They have appointed a management council, set up a headquarters and created regional networks with military and religious leaders to run operations, manage cross-border activity, and procure weapons and other supplies. The danger is clear. Assuming Assad's regime eventually collapses, a robust al Qaeda presence will undermine transition efforts and pose a major threat to regional stability. With U.S. troops now gone from Iraq, al Qaeda in Iraq has increased its attacks to nearly 30 per month, up from roughly 20 per month during the past two years. And this week Matthew Olsen, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, testified to Congress that al Qaeda in Iraq even poses a growing threat to attack the U.S. homeland. What can be done? The U.S. and its allies should launch a covert campaign to ramp up intelligence-collection efforts against al Qaeda, capture or kill its senior leaders, and undermine its legitimacy. Some Syrian oppositionists have become alarmed at al Qaeda's activities, according to government officials from the region. These rebels appear concerned that al Qaeda's growing involvement will jeopardize their badly needed international aid and muddy their goals. After all, al Qaeda seeks to establish an extreme version of Shariah law that is eschewed by most members of the Free Syrian Army. Some might fear that a second front would create fissures within the Syrian opposition just as the Assad regime is teetering, but this view is short-sighted. The stronger al Qaeda becomes in Syria, the more difficult it will be to destroy in the future. In the end, the easiest aspect of the Syrian war may be overthrowing the Assad regime. Much like Iraq, Afghanistan and even Libya, the most difficult part is what comes next. Targeting al Qaeda and other extremists is a good place to start. |

![]() Ach, de meeste forummers weten wel wie hier de grootse leugenaar is die enkel tot het plaatsen van oneliners ter bescherming van Israel en hun schoothondje de VS in staat is.
Ik heb bewust Israel in deze draad nog niet vernoemd. Maar U hebt er om gevraagd. Natuurlijk steunen niet enkel de Westerse wereld en de VN de vredebrengers genaamd Al Qaeda, maar zelfs de kleine grootse schurkenstaat Israel doet dat ook. Op zich is dat geen vebazingwekkend feit omdat de Zionisten met het Moslimbroederschap samen in hetzelfde bed (bordeel) zitten, beiden zijn dan ook organisaties van massonieke aard. Zoals ik reeds vele malen beweerd heb, U @Dixie, samen met andere Zionisten zijn de grote terroristenvriendjes ! AL-QAEDA: Created by the Jewish Agency – Operation under Israeli Mossad - Al-Qaeda is a Zionist Weapon Against Islam Video - Wahhabis, Israel Fund Al-Qaeda Rebels in Syria: Dr. Webster Tarpley Reports 1/2 Video - Wahhabis, Israel Fund Al-Qaeda Rebels in Syria: Dr. Webster Tarpley Reports 2/2 Al Arabiya - The Al-Qaeda/Israel Riddle Zionists Use al Qaeda to Attack Syria It came as no surprise to students of Middle East history, when al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri called for the ouster of Syria’s “pernicious, cancerous regime,”. Progressive Syria has been targeted by al Qaeda in the past, and is currently under attack by Islamists from the CIA/Mossad-trained Free Syrian Army. When al-Zawahiri headed Egyptian Islamic Jihad in 1984, Reagan’s CIA brought his mujahadeen buddy Ali Mohammed to the US where was put to work training Afghan terrorists in Brooklyn and Jersey City on weekends. During the week he instructed US Special Forces at Fort Bragg. In 1998 he helped bomb the US Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Blowback’s a bitch. Later the CIA helped Islamic Jihad terrorists escape Egyptian justice by sending them to fight with Bosnian Muslims assigned to tear apart Yugoslavia, and with the heroin-infested Kosovo Liberation Army. Islamists were used to murder Gaddafi and privatize the Libyan central bank for the Rothschild Cartel. Now these creations of Western intelligence – Israel, Turkey, the GCC and NATO – are being used to attack the Assad government in Syria and to capture Syria’s central bank for the Zionist Illuminati banking cartel. And the road to attacking Iran runs straight through Damascus. ... Laatst gewijzigd door zonbron : 16 augustus 2012 om 23:08. |
