Qatari-Turkish plan to blow up Assad plane failed
Lebanese daily Al-Diyar has reported that attempts to assassinate president Assad by Al-Nusra Front, planed and funded by Qatar and Turkey, have failed.
Al-Diyar reported that Jordan had revealed the failed attempt to assassinate President Bashar al-Assad.
An Arab country ambassador stressed that Jordan’s Intelligence Services had unveiled an attempt of blowing up President Assad’s private jet and killing him at Latakia Airport, and has informed the Syrian intelligence apparatus.
Assad usually uses his private jet which can accommodate up to 12 people, to travel from Latakia to Damascus.
Al-Nusra Front terrorists stalk the Latakia Airport, intending to stage a missile attack targeting the Syrian president and his jet.
Terrorists wanted to target Assad aircraft with SAM-7 missiles, when plane carrying Assad gets close to Latakia Airport enough.
After flying plane carrying Assad from Mezze Air Base in Damascus, to Aleppo, Syria securities had intercepted a conversation at the airport which announced the flying of the Syrian President aircraft.
Following hearing the chatter, they had contacted Assad’s pilot to land at Mezze Air Base in Damascus immediately.
After tracking and follow-up on the chatter lines, Syrian security forces managed to arrest nine people in this case. Some of them were agents of the terrorist group Al-Nusra Front, and some were officers from the Syrian government who had joined the enemy, and who were working as an expert in the use of SAM-7 antiaircraft system.
After the discovery of Assad’s assassination plot, Syrian intelligence securities have arrested number of technical forces at Mezze Air Base suspected to send information to al-Qaeda. Security forces also arrested gangs who were at the airport waiting for Assad airplane to land and cleared the area completely.
The attempted terrorists attack to assassinate Bashar al-Assad with the planning and logistical support of Qatar and Turkey including SAM-7 missiles that Qatar had sent via Turkey into Syria to be used had failed.
After having failed in the military and political theater in Syria, Doha and Ankara, in order to eliminate Assad from power, had planned his assassination plot, thus to end the Syrian crisis, which the plan had failed.
