Qatar and S. Arabia, Send Terrorists to Syria

TEHRAN (ST)- The Qatari government has been increasingly recruiting and dispatching terrorists to Syria, including several groups of Pakistani snipers, in what is deemed to be a tight rivalry with Saudi Arabia, sources said.

Qatar has recently started using its hefty gas revenues and its influential Al-Jazaeera TV network to empower its role in Syria, a source close to Qatar’s ruling family said, adding that the country has started a vast and detailed plan to recruit, train and dispatch terrorists to Syria,according to FARS.

Since the onset of the crisis in Syria, Qatar has been recruiting Salafi terrorists from across the globe and dispatching them to Syria to take the lead in the country. Sending two separate groups of Pakistani terrorists to Syria has been the latest in a series of actions taken by the Qatari government to strengthen its affiliated terrorist groups in Syria, the source who asked to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of the information told FNA Saturday.

“The Qatari secret service has assembled two separate 67-member teams of terrorists from the Pakistani Balouchistan region and dispatched them to Syria via the Turkish borders in the last two weeks,” he explained.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey along with the US, have been supporting terrorists and rebel groups in Syria and have practically brought a UN peace initiative into failure .

The US daily, Washington Post, reported in May that the terrorist groups  in Syria battling government have received significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States.

According to the report, material is being stockpiled in Damascus, in Idlib near the Turkish border and in Zabadani on the Lebanese border.
