| British troops withdraw from south Syria, end training to militants |
| 2017-09-05 |
| [AlMasdar] The United Kingdom has withdrawn its troops from the coalition-operated al-Tanf base in Syria’s southwestern desert and de facto ended all military assistance hitherto provided to Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... (FSA) affiliated mercenaries in the region. Just like US military personnel who were also part of the so-called "moderate opposition" training program in southern Syria, British special forces troops operated from a coalition base established at the town of al-Tanf near Syria’s border with Iraq. Virtually all of the FSA fighters who were part of the Pentagon-vetted training program had, in previous years, fought pro-government forces in Syria’s Deir Ezzor region alongside the al-Qaeda-linked Jahbat al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... terrorist group. According to the UK-based Daily Telegraph news group, the British wind-down of support to FSA hard boyz began in June of this year when at least 20 special forces troops were confirmed to have withdrawn from the al-Tanf base. As of very recently, the remainder of the British contingent at al-Tanf has departed taking with them any further UK support for FSA hard boyz in southern Syria. The coalition-backed hard boyz at al-Tanf have proved themselves almost entirely more interested in fighting against forces led by the Syrian government in southern Syria rather than fighting ISIS, which was meant to be their official purpose as Western proxies in the region. |

| #1 Wonder when the truth that the White helmets is a ISIS front group will come out? It's been known online for over a year. So it'll be a "shock" for the MSM. |
