DAMASCUS, (ST)-The Saudi Spy chief Bandar bin Sultan has been removed from his post in a new development indicating the collapse of the anti-Syria devilish alliance. The step brings to the minds a similar incident represented in the stepping down of Qatar’s Emir Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani and his foreign minister Hamad bin Jasem at the orders of the Zionist American intelligence bodies after being used to the end to serve the American master against the Arab nation’s interests.
Despite attempts by the Saudi media to claim that Bandar was relieved from his post “upon his request”, all facts indicate that he was ousted after he had failed to implement the schemes of the Wahhabi kingdom which, itself, used to obey the orders of the American, British and French masters. Bandar was replaced with lieutenant general staff Yousef bin Ali Al-Idrisi who was the deputy chief of general intelligence.
The ousted Saudi Spay chief has been no more than a servant and a tool at the disposal of Washington and the West’s colonialist countries to help them implement their schemes in the region.
Bandar, who formerly served as Saudi ambassador to Washington for over 20 years, has played a malicious role in the era of the so-called “Arab Spring” and has been a staunch supporter of Takfiri terrorist groups operating against Syria.
He has been the key figure trying to increase Saudi weapons flow to the foreign-backed terrorists in Syria.
His first mission as a spy chief was represented in dealing with the so-called “thorny” Syrian file in 2012. Bandar was keen to sow sedition, death and destruction in Syria, to undermine the Arab nationalist thinking and to pave the way for normalization with the Zionist entity and for a bigger role of Zionism in the region. But, Bandar’s plans were destined to failure in Syria thanks to the steadfastness and sacrifices of the Syrian army and people in the face of the conspiracy.
Bandar’s failure has angered Obama’s administration which, in turn, pulled the Syrian file back from him and gave it to Mohammad bin Nayef, the Saudi Interior Minister.
Media reports said that Bandar was also known to have had close ties with former US President George Bush, and was an advocate of the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
