双方被异族敌人摆布利用,被借刀互相杀戮的悲剧。
Syrian rebels fighting for control of the Syria’s biggest town, Aleppo,
have obtained their first heavy weapons – 220-mm MLRS rocket launchers –
through a large-scale supply operation run by Saudi intelligence chief
Prince Bandar bin Sultan, according to debkafile’s exclusive intelligence
sources.
His agents scoured the Balkans nations of Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo
and for large wads of cash snapped up Russian-made MLRS (Smerch) and
Hurricane 9K57 launchers capable of firing scores of 220-mm rockets to a
distance of 70 kilometers.
The Saudis hope to expedite the rebel capture of the big Syrian Nairab air
base attached to Aleppo’s international air port. The Saudi prince has
personally taken the Nairab battle under his wing, convinced that it is the
key to the conquest of Aleppo, once Syria’s national commercial and
population center, after more than a year’s impasse in the battle for its
control.
The fall of this air base would also substantially reduce the big Iranian
and Russian airlifts to Assad’s army.
Russia brings down its cargo planes loaded with weapons and replacement
parts for the Syrian army at Nairab after the air facilities around Damascus
were targeted by rebel fire. Moscow has since warned the rebels that if
they attack incoming or outgoing Russian planes at Nairab, Russian special
forces will come in to wipe out their strength around the base and take over
its protection themselves.
Of late, Russian and Iranian arms lifts to Nairab were doubled, after rebels
seized many Alawite villages in the Aleppo and Idlib regions of northern
Syria.
Members of Bashar Assad’s Alawite sect, their inhabitants, mainly women and
children, have been fleeing en masse from their homes in fear of rebel
retribution. They are making for the coastal towns of Tartus and Latakia
which are still under regime control.
The question is for how long. In the third week of March, Russian warships
stopped docking at the naval port of Tartus after finding its piers and
facilities crowded with Alawite refugees who came up to the Russian seamen
begging for food, water and medical aid.
From March 21, Russian warships on the Mediterranean were ordered to avoid
Tartus and relocate their visits to Lebanon’s Beirut port.
The Saudi operation for shipping heavy rocket launchers from the Balkans to
Aleppo is complicated.
The rockets are fixed to vehicles weighing 43.7 tons each. The rockets
themselves are 7.6 meters long and weigh 800 kilograms.
To arrange the transfer of this heavy artillery to the rebels in Aleppo,
Prince Bandar contacted Hakan Fidan, head of the MIT-Turkish National
Intelligence Organization. They agreed to set up an overland route from the
Balkans via Turkey and across the Syrian border to Aleppo, under the
protection of the Turkish army.
Our sources report that Ankara’s initial refusal of cooperation was
overcome with a sharp reminder by Prince Bandar of the scale of Turkish
exports to Saudi Arabia and the damage to the Turkish economy of their
potential suspension.
The news that Saudi Arabia was supplying Syrian rebels with heavy weapons
stunned the Arab League summit taking place in Doha, Qatar this week,
bringing it to a clamorous end, debkafile’s intelligence and Middle East
sources reveal.
Saudi and Qatari delegates were heard hurling shrill abuse at one another
and exchanging blows in private meeting rooms down the corridors of the
assembly hall. The conference proceedings were abruptly halted as Arab
delegation members pitched in to separate them. A total blackout was quickly
drawn down on the summit as it broke up in disarray.
The Saudi royal rulers and Qatar’s Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani have been at
extreme loggerheads over the Syrian civil conflict. Riyadh – and Prince
Bandar in particular – accuses the Qataris of conspiring to bring the
Muslim Brotherhood to power in Damascus, including radical groups tied to Al
Qaeda.
Qatari Prime Minister and Secret Service Chief Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem has
shot back with the charge that Saudi Arabia is maneuvering for control of
the Syrian rebel movement.
The Saudis condemn Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan’s close ties with Qatar’
s ruling family which they say eggs on Doha’s schemes for Syria.
For this reason, too, Bandar insisted on Turkey taking active part in
facilitating the Balkan heavy arms route to Aleppo.
