(HTS) handed over foreign bully boy fighters to the Ottoman Turkish intelligence through Bab al-Hawa border crossing in northern Idlib, after detaining them for about eight months.

A security source at Bab al-Hawa crossing told North Press, "One of the detainees is a French national who was among the ranks of the Firqat al-Ghuraba, and name is Philippe Ousson, currently known as Abdul Wadoud. The other is Sudanese. They were transferred this afternoon from Prison 106 in the city of Sarmada to the Bab al-Hawa crossing, where the handover process to the Ottoman Turkish side took place."

He added that the handover came at the request of the Ottoman Turkish side, and under the supervision of Abu Maria al-Qahtani, the head of HTS’ General Security Apparatus.

The source stated that the handover of imported muscle continues in coordination between the HTS and the Ottoman Turkish intelligence without knowing their fate and the reason behind these handover operations.

Previously, the HTS’ General Security handed over dozens of foreign leaders belonging to al-Qaeda and other radical groups to the Ottoman Turkish intelligence through the Bab al-Hawa crossing.
