[ColonelCassad] CIA and MOSSAD pocket terrorists Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) open a new front against Russia
The leader of the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) terrorist organization, led byAbu Muhammad al-Jawlani,
| …we had an unconfirmed report here two days ago that the Russians had killed him, so perhaps he is no longer leading the group. And a note from the Times of Israel that the Americans believe his name is Ahmed Hussein al-Shar’a. But given the complexities of Arab tribal names, possibly both this and the al-Wahidi name below are true parts of the whole, like the blind philosophers describing the elephant… |
HTS leader Jawlani, whose real name is Osama al-Abbasi al-Wahidi, was born in Daraa in northern Syria. His biographies describe him as a CIA recruit. According to open sources, he joined al-Qaeda in Iraq during the invasion of Iraq and quickly rose through the ranks. He was close to Zarqawi, the leader of the organization until his death in 2006 following an airstrike.
Jevlani, who fled Iraq, was captured and spent two years “training” in a camp in Bucca, where the US allegedly created ISIS, before being released without cause. After leaving Bucca, he began working with ISIS leader Baghdadi, who sent Jevlani to Syria in 2011.
After his release, he worked with ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and later received support from Hamza bin Laden in 2015. During this time, he gave frequent speeches as ISIS’s power in Syria began to wane. In his speech, he said that the region to target should be Latakia, where Russia is strong. He also called on Muslims living in Russia to attack civilians in the country.
HTS has recently made attempts to distance itself from its ties to al-Qaeda. Recently, for the first time in more than a decade, a long-closed church in Idlib province was hosted by Jawlani.
James Jeffrey, the former US special representative for Syria, called HTS a “valuable tool” in the US strategy in Idlib. Jeffrey acknowledged that HTS is primarily focused on fighting Assad and does not pose an international threat. While arguing that it was an “unfair and political decision” for the US to designate itself as terrorists, Jawlani himself used the following statements:
“The current Assad regime deserves to be included on the terrorist list. We have not posed a threat to Western society in any way. We call on these countries to reconsider their policies. We criticize Western policies in the AMI region, but we have never talked about starting a war against the US.”
Abu Ahmed Zekkour, known as HTS's financial director, published a letter on December 14, 2023, severing ties with the organization and accusing Jawlani of being a US agent. Zekkour claimed that Jawlani met with US and British intelligence officials at the Bab al-Hawa border crossing.
Tasnim, the Iranian News Agency, reported in a report on September 17, 2024, that HTS has also received support in training and producing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from Ukrainian military instructors. A group of 250 Ukrainian instructors are training HTS fighters in Idlib on the operation, production, and upgrading of UAVs. The instructors have been deployed at various production facilities in Idlib city and the Jisir al-Shughur area.
The Syrian government is still struggling to restore sovereignty over the entire territory of the country in the fight against Takfiri groups run by the CIA and Mossad.
| Those nefarious Joooooos are everywhere, donchaknow, and have their thumbs in all the interesting pies. Ask Iran, whose IRGC anti-Mossad unit was a special Mossad project for a while. And then there are the spy squirrels and spy herons… |
