In Khan al-Assal over 150 people were brutally murdered by suspected al-Qaeda affiliates and remnants of the Free Syrian Army (FSA). Yet, the significance of Khan al-Assal applies to the chemical issue, whereby the Syrian government is adamant that terrorists were responsible for a past attack. Therefore, when viewing the methodology of the massacre, then something doesn’t meet the eye because it appears to have been done based on other motives and with the help of covert operatives.
Officially, the terrorist group called the Ansar al-Khilafa Brigade claimed responsibility but the behavior of the massacre leads to doubts about the sole responsibility of just terrorist forces. In the past, certain special covert operations have taken place against airfields and to firmly entrench various sectarian terrorist forces in northern Syria. Given the importance of Khan al-Assal in relation to the reported chemical attack and with the Russian Federation providing evidence which firmly pins chemical usage on terrorist forces – then was the massacre aimed at specific individuals or aimed to cover-up areas related to this incident?
It is known currently that the Syrian armed forces are making headway in Homs and in other parts of Syria. This reality makes the attack against Khan al-Assal appear even more like a covert operation because it is unimportant militarily given the recent setbacks. While Ansar al-Khilafa claims responsibility, and al Nusra played their part, it is doubtful that such an operation is possible without extremely professional individuals being involved. Therefore, the timing of the attack would indicate that covert operatives were at least among the two terrorist groups being held accountable. After all, only America, France, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United Kingdom could gain from this massacre because it can help to literally “bury the truth” about their respective false pretexts in relation to the chemical issue.
The Russian Foreign Ministry condemned the barbaric massacre by stating that “The gunmen of the two terrorist groups have perpetrated a brutal crime two days ago in Khan al-Asal which they captured on July 22nd, 2013.”
“The fighters of the two extremist groups have committed genocide against the captives of the Syrian officers and soldiers as well as against the pro-government civilians.”
Dr. Riad Haddad, the Syrian Ambassador based in Moscow, is in no doubt that this barbaric massacre in Khan al-Assal was aimed at erasing the chemical false flag. He stated to Ria Novosti that “The main goal of this carnage which was committed by Jabhat al-Nusra and Ansar al-Khliafa brigade is killing all witnesses on the use of the chemical weapons use by the armed terrorist groups.”
Surely, with recent infighting between al-Qaeda affiliates and the FSA; internal tensions between various al-Qaeda groups; Nusra and the FSA attacking the Kurds near the border with Turkey and in other areas; alongside setbacks against the Syrian armed forces; then Khan al-Assal makes no strategic sense apart from covering up the crimes of the chemical attack. Also, the nature of the coordination of the attack hints to the involvement of special operatives and a planned attack from much higher.
It must be remembered that while the Syrian government was open to a proper investigation by the United Nations (UN) based on neutral observers; that nations within the Gulf and Western terrorist alliance were unnerved by this. The terrorist operation – or the joint covert operation – is known to have taken place by some individuals in virtually full disguise and having professional military builds – alongside the vast majority of ordinary members of both terrorist groups which did the massacre itself. It resembles a joint operation whereby the orders were planned by “outside forces” and because of strong motivational factors which leads to a cover up.
RIA Novosti states “Over the weekend “it became known about the atrocious killing” of some 150 people by militants from extremist groups Jabhat al-Nusra and Ansar al-Khilafah during an attack on Khan Assal, a town outside the northern city of Aleppo, the ministry said in a statement on its website.”
“Both militant groups, which have conducted joint operations in the past, have claimed credit for taking control of Khan Assal on July 22-23 and killing more than 100 soldiers.”
Like usual, President Obama of America, President Hollande of France, Prime Minister Erdogan of Turkey and Prime Minister Cameron of the United Kingdom remain mainly silent about this brutal massacre. These four NATO powers also have collectively agreed to allow NATO Turkey to be a conduit for al-Qaeda affiliates and other terrorist forces entering northern Syria via Turkey. Similarly, weapons to al-Qaeda terrorists, sectarian forces and covert operatives are happening based on the role of NATO Turkey. However, this seems to be bypassing a mainly compliant and propaganda based media.
The UN set up an independent commission of inquiry in relation to the possible usage of chemicals and this was headed by Carla Del Ponte. She expressed that “investigators have been in neighboring countries interviewing victims, doctors and field hospitals and, according to their report of last week which I have seen, there are strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof of the use of sarin gas, from the way the victims were treated.”
“This was use on the part of the opposition, the rebels, not by the government authorities.”
In another article by Modern Tokyo Times about the chemical false flag it was stated that “It appears that the axis-of-evil against Syria will tolerate beheading people, daily terrorism, religious cleansing, killing journalists, kidnapping Christian bishops, taking UN personnel and making them hostages, killing mainstream Sunni clerics which support the independence of Syria, throwing people from rooftops and destroying Christian churches and Shia mosques. Will political elites in Ankara, Doha, London, Paris, Riyadh and Washington now “see the light” and acknowledge that their “terrorist and sectarian freedom fighters” are simply barbaric? Or, will the mass media peddle more lies in order to brush the latest news about sarin gas under the carpet; in order to meet the demands of political elites which have various agendas in destabilizing and crushing the last major secular Arabic speaking nation in the Middle East?”
It is clear that Cameron, Erdogan, Hollande and Obama have a lot of blood on their hands because all four leaders have supported Qatar and Saudi Arabia in their “unholy and immoral war.” This applies to helping the terrorist, military and covert ratlines. The latest massacre in Khan al-Assal didn’t serve the agenda of al-Qaeda affiliates and the FSA in relationship to the current military situation in Syria. However, the massacre and barbaric atrocity did serve nations with “a false flag agenda.”
