Many western newspapers made reports stating there are terrorists coming from outside Syria to join the terrorists group the so called Free Army. The west have already acknowledged their fear of Al Qaeda growth in Syria, however they still support those groups, and worse they call them freedom fighters. Jeroen Oerlemans (photographer) was held hostage by terrorists in Syria and here he speaks about it to Russia Today.
Radical Islamists with “British accents” are among the coalition forces looking to topple Bashar Assad, says Jeroen Oerlemans, a photographer who was held hostage in Syria for a week. The UK Foreign Office has launched an investigation.Oerlemans, a famous Dutch photo journalist, and John Cantlie, another photographer from the UK, were captured by a group of between 30 and 100 anti-Assad fighters when crossing the Syrian border from Turkey last week. They were then blindfolded."One of the black jihadists freaked out and shouted: 'These are journalists and now they will see we are preparing an international jihad in this place.'" Oerlemans told NRC Handelsblatt newspaper. He said that none of the fighters was Syrian."They all claimed they came from countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh and Chechnya and they said there was some vague 'emir' at the head of the group."About 40 per cent of the militants spoke English. In fact, several apparently talked with recognizable regional British accents, from Birmingham and London.The two photographers suspected that a ransom would be demanded for their release and tried to escape. Oerlemans was shot twice in the leg during the failed attempt and Cantlie, who has so far not spoken to any media, was wounded in the arm.The pair’s ordeal ended when the Free Syrian Army, the main anti-Assad force, demanded that their nominal allies hand them over."They took us with them like a bunch of gangsters," Oerlemans said, "Shooting in the air as we rode out of there.”The Free Syrian Army released the men and the two are now resting in Turkey. They expect to travel home in the coming days.If it is confirmed, Oerleman’s story will add to reports that Syria has become a magnet for radical Islamists, who are there either as mercenaries or because of ideology."As soon as Assad has fallen, these fighters want to introduce Islamic law, Sharia, in Syria," said Oerlemans.
Here is also another article from the CNN , which says there are only about 30 Libyans, which in reality there are more then hundreds of Libyans and foreign fighters in Syria destroying the country. Now the propaganda here is at, it's best, we can compare Jeroen Oerlemans story to CNN story, CNN calls them freedom fighters.
Another Article from The Guardian talking about Al Qaeda ( or as the west calls them "freedom" fighters), I will highlight the most important sections of this article and I will include the link for the complete article from The Guardian. Blue is my commentary on some part of the article.
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, and they are one of a number of jihadi organisations establishing a foothold in the east of the country now that the conflict in Syria has stretched well into its second bloody year.
They try to hide their presence. "Some people are worried about carrying the [black] flags," said Abu Khuder. "They fear America will come and fight us. So we fight in secret. Why give Bashar and the west a pretext?" But their existence is common knowledge in Mohassen. Even passers-by joke with the men about car bombs and IEDs.
According to Abu Khuder, his men are working closely with the military council that commands the Free Syrian Army brigades in the region. "We meet almost every day," he said. "We have clear instructions from our [al-Qaida] leadership that if the FSA need our help we should give it. We help them with IEDs and car bombs. Our main talent is in the bombing operations." Abu Khuder's men had a lot of experience in bomb-making from Iraq and elsewhere, he added.
This section is important it talks about how Al Qaeda is now part of the FSA, FSA and SNC ("Syrian" National Council) have always denied they worked with Al Qaeda but there is something else is being said:
"We meet almost every day," he said. "We have clear instructions from our [al-Qaida] leadership that if the FSA need our help we should give it. We help them with IEDs and car bombs. Our main talent is in the bombing operations."
This is coming from the terrorist himself which was interviewed by The Guardian.
"The car bomb cost us 100,000 Syrian pounds and fewer than 10 people were involved [in the operation]," he said. "Within two days of the bomb expert arriving we had it ready. We didn't waste a single bullet.
"Al-Qaida has experience in these military activities and it knows how to deal with it."
"In the beginning there were very few. Now, mashallah, there are immigrants joining us and bringing their experience," he told the gathered people. "Men from Yemen, Saudi, Iraq and Jordan. Yemenis are the best in their religion and discipline and the Iraqis are the worst in everything – even in religion."
The west and the GCC support these groups, which they went to Afghanistan to fight them, and now what happened?
Here is the complete report.
I want to ask the whole world, what kind of freedom is Al Qaeda? Why is the United States and the West supporting the same group they have been battling for years? Didn't the world learn from their previous mistakes? Didn't the US learn that supporting "freedom" fighters in Afghanistan resulted in the creation of Al Qaeda? The US support Osama Bin Laden to fight the Soviet Union and the result were very dangerous . What is the world doing right now in Syria?
