Turkish Radical Daily: Criminals, Smugglers among Armed Syrian Opposition

“Criminals and drug addicts are fighting among the armed terrorist opposition” said a report by a Turkish journalist who was sent by the Turkish Radical Daily Gazette to inspect real events taking place in Syria.

The report contradicted the fabricated news and lies broadcast by certain Turkish media serving the government of the Justice and Development Party to divert the Turkish public opinion into taking hostile stances against the Syrians.

Tastekin quoted a 72-year-old shoemaker, Abdullah Hamsho, who fled from Homs and lived in Damascus Countryside as saying that “a number of armed men attacked our home and kidnapped my two children whose bodies were found two days later because they rejected to participate in the so-called peaceful protests”.

Another person, Haidar Mohammad al-Abeir, exposed the lie of al-Arabiya and al-Jazeera TV channels regarding the death of his brother Nizam allegedly at the hands of the army and security forces.

He said that a group of gunmen who called themselves “Khaled Bin al-Walid” group killed his brother in front of his home because he refused to participate in the protests.

Al-Abeir added “Some of those armed men are criminals who were released or drug addicts who were hired, joined by some inhabitants of the City.”

He told the Turkish Gazette reporter that the armed groups in Homs prevented him along with 300 individuals from meeting the Arab League monitors as not to tell them the truth.

He said that these armed groups forced 1500 families to leave the city and opened fire on the neighborhood where he lives.

Another person, who asked not to mention his name, told the reporter that the armed opposition groups abducted 400 people, held others hostage and killed them upon the entry of the army forces in Homs neighborhoods.

He said that the armed opposition groups stoked sedition, instigated and stole properties, in addition to opening fire on law-enforcement forces and protestors to supply al-Jazeera channel and other satellite channels with news.

The Turkish reporter headed to Daraa and inspected the Justice Palace which was set on fire on March 22nd, 2011.

He said that those who were interviewed stressed that those who burned the building were wanted men and smugglers in order to eliminate files about their crimes.

He said that they affirmed that money was sent to Daraa to continue protests despite the reforms and that the Imam of al-Omari Mosque, Sheikh Ahmad al-Sayasneh, was the one who supervised the distribution of money.
