Syria Urges U.N. to Stop 'Saudi Support for Extremists'

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Syria's government has called on the United Nations to make efforts to stop what it says is Saudi Arabia's support for extremist Islamist groups fighting to topple the regime.

"We call on the U.N. Security Council to take the necessary measures to put an end to the unprecedented actions of the Saudi regime, which is supporting takfiri (Sunni extremist) terrorism tied to al-Qaida," Syria's foreign ministry said in a message.

The message was sent to U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon, state television reported, marking the first time the Syrian government has appealed to the international body to take action against Riyadh.

Saudi Arabia is a key backer of the rebels fighting to oust President Bashar Assad, although the regime in Riyadh has also been targeted by jihadist fighters.

The Syrian message to the U.N. accuses Saudi of assisting "terrorist groups in Syria," and describes the kingdom as playing the "role of saboteur."

"Saudi Arabia is not content to merely send weapons and to finance but also mobilizes extremist terrorists and sends them to kill the Syrian people," the Syrian message says.

The government in Damascus has regularly urged the U.N. to take action against "terrorists," the term it uses to describe all those who oppose the Assad regime.

NAHARNET REPORTED, "Saudi Arabia is a key backer of the rebels fighting to oust President Bashar Assad, although the regime in Riyadh has also been targeted by jihadist fighters."
Being targeted by Alqaida does NOT mean that Saudi regime is not Al-Qaida Affiliate. Throughout history, and in the Mafia culture, subgroups attack each other for money, territories and leadership. Fighting among groups in Alqaida culture is the same. Saudi Arabia is a big group in this terrorist organisation. I would also venture to say, given the facts of its religion clerks' Fatwas, Saudi Arabia is the head of the snake of AlQaida.

According to the French Intelligent Agency, reported today by AFP news agency and published on M14 affiliated Syria-News, I quote, «في لبنان يظهر أن كل المجموعات الجهادية التي بايعت القاعدة، المتمركزة في المخيمات الفلسطينية قرب صيدا وطرابلس، تتلقى تمويلها بشكل أساسي من الأمير بندر بن سلطان. (رئيس الاستخبارات السعودية) الذي يقود سياسته الإقليمية منفرداً ومستقلاً عن أشقائه وأبناء عمومته».

Take a nice deep breath,,, that is the sweet smell of the breeze of freedom, the breeze of the Arab Springs that is blowing toward the tyrants of the KSA. Their day is drawing closer and closer.
