Leaked Document Provides Further Evidence about Saudi Regime’s Role in Terrorist War on Syria

WASHINGTON, (ST)- A secret document, newly leaked by the US National Security Agency (NSA), has presented a further proof on the criminal role played by the regime of Saudi Arabia in the ongoing terrorist war on Syria.  

The document, published by “The Intercept” newspaper website after receiving it from the former CIA officer Edward Snowden, uncovered that some Saudi princes are directly responsible for a huge terrorist attack that targeted Damascus in March 2013, according to the Syrian News Agency SANA.

 The document stressed that Saudi prince Salman Bn Sultan, the then deputy Defense Minister, supplied the terrorist groups in Syria with about 120 tonnes of explosives and rockets and ordered them to launch rocket attacks in Damascus.

According to the Intercept, the document was the result of the NSA observation and monitoring of the armed groups’ activites in Syria.

It said that elevating Salman Bin Sultan to the post of deputy defense minister in 2013 after he was a high ranking intelligence officer who was following up the war on Syria, provided an idea about the developments of the war on country and confirmed the deep involvement of foreign powers in the terrorist events in Syria.

From the very beginning of the crisis in Syria, the Saudi regime supported the terrorist groups by supplying them with money and weapon and by covering up their crimes in partnership with other regional and western regimes.
