International

DAMASCUS, (ST)_ Classified intelligence documents obtained by the Swedish Nordic Monitor website have revealed how the jihadist Ben Ali group led by Abdaladim Ali Mossa Ben Ali, a Libyan citizen with close ties to al‐Qaeda, took part in the transfer of foreign fighters and weapons from Libya to Syria through Turkey.

A Turkish police intelligence report, drafted for internal circulation, also exposed close links between the members of Libyan jihadist Ben Ali group and then-Prime Minister and now President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Group leader Ben Ali worked closely with Fedaa Majzoub, who was in touch with Erdoğan’s then-chief advisors İbrahim Kalın (now presidential spokesperson) and Sefer Turan (now chief presidential advisor) while arranging the movement of foreign fighters and the supplying of weapons.
