NATO Using Al Qaeda Rat Lines to Flood Syria With Foreign Terrorists The discredited and now obscure, defected Syrian ambassador Nawaf Fares,had claimed mid-summer of 2012 that the Syrian government had been behind the influx of foreign terrorists that entered Iraq during the later phases of the US-British occupation of Iraq. These terrorists took part in campaigns of sectarian-driven violence that divided and destroyed an already devastated Iraq. Fares spectacularly claimed that he himself was involved in organizing terrorist death squads in a hamhanded attempt to implicate the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. What Fares actually revealed however, was an invisible state within Syria, one composed of Saudi-aligned, sectarian extremism, operating not only independently of the government of President Assad, but in violent opposition to it. This “state-within-a-state” also so happens to be directly affiliated with Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood, the leading forces now fighting in Syria with significant Western-backing against the Syrian government.
Gaddafi Stronghold Bani Walid Have Been Shelled for Three Weeks Hundreds of supporters of the people of Bani Walid demonstrated outside the General National Congress parliament in Tripoli on October 21. Protesters attempted to enter the building but were dispersed by police. The demonstration called for a halt to the siege of this town of 80,000 people, a bastion of support for the former Jamahiriya government led by the martyred Col. Muammar Gaddafi. For three weeks the rebel militias that are financed through the United States-backed regime in Tripoli, have blockaded the city denying food, medicine and other essential goods to enter the area. Eyewitness accounts and videos posted on YouTube show constant shelling and large amounts of smoke emanating from the targeted sites inside the city. Hospitals are reporting that people are being treated for chemical poisoning and the loss of limbs.
The Mail on Sunday today reveals shocking new evidence of the full horrific impact of US drone attacks in Pakistan. A damning dossier assembled from exhaustive research into the strikes’ targets sets out in heartbreaking detail the deaths of teachers, students and Pakistani policemen. It also describes how bereaved relatives are forced to gather their loved ones’ dismembered body parts in the aftermath of strikes. The dossier has been assembled by human rights lawyer Shahzad Akbar, who works for Pakistan’s Foundation for Fundamental Rights and the British human rights charity Reprieve. Filed in two separate court cases, it is set to trigger a formal murder investigation by police into the roles of two US officials said to have ordered the strikes. They are Jonathan Banks, former head of the Central Intelligence Agency’s Islamabad station, and John A. Rizzo, the CIA’s former chief lawyer. Mr Akbar and his staff have already gathered further testimony which has yet to be filed. How the attacks unfolded…
