The terror group in Douma was not only financed by Saudi Arabia but their leader was Saudi. How would you like it if Canadians took over Flint and started bombing Detroit.
You'd expect as a Flint civilian that your government would fight the Canadians and free them would you not?
Or has every anti Assad person lost their ******* minds and believe that Assad should just let foreign fighters take over Syria's cities? These aren't rebels and its never been a civil war.
Not when you have Sunni jihadists from over 80 countries pouring into Syria to overthrow Assad.
Its not a civil war. It's a ******* INVASION.
how many foreign sunni bastards have INVADED SYRIA---
got a citation?
Of course I do.
I'm informed.
The
United Nations has warned that foreign jihadists are swarming into the twin conflicts in Iraq and Syria on “an unprecedented scale” and from countries that had not previously contributed combatants to global terrorism.
A report by the UN security council, obtained by the Guardian, finds that 15,000 people have travelled to Syria and Iraq to fight alongside the
Islamic State (Isis) and similar extremist groups. They come from more than 80 countries, the report states, “including a tail of countries that have not previously faced challenges relating to al-Qaida”.
The UN said it was uncertain whether al-Qaida would benefit from the surge. Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of al-Qaida who booted Isis out of his organisation, “appears to be maneuvering for relevance”, the report says.
The UN’s numbers bolster
recent estimates from US intelligence about the scope of the foreign fighter problem, which the UN report finds to have spread despite the Obama administration’s aggressive counter-terrorism strikes and global surveillance dragnets.
“Numbers since 2010 are now many times the size of the cumulative numbers of foreign terrorist fighters between 1990 and 2010 – and are growing,” says the report, produced by a security council committee that monitors al-Qaida.
The UN report did not list the 80-plus countries that it said were the source of fighters flowing fighters into Iraq and Syria. But in recent months, Isis supporters have appeared in places as unlikely as
the Maldives, and its videos proudly display jihadists with
Chilean-Norwegian and other diverse backgrounds.
“There are instances of foreign terrorist fighters from France, the Russian Federation and and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland operating together,” it states. More than 500 British citizens are believed to have travelled to the region since 2011.
