Secret documents “leaked to the media” disclosed on Sunday that Saudi Arabia
has been sending death convicts to Syria to join the armed campaign
against President Bashar a-Assad's government, according to a FARS news
agency report.
“According to the document, the Saudi Interior Ministry has conceded to pardon
these people who have been sentenced to death on charges of drug
trafficking, murder and rape after they accepted to go under military
trainings and be sent to Syria to help terrorist groups and the FSA in
the war on President Assad. Families of the convicts do not have the
right to leave Saudi Arabia, but they receive monthly salaries from the
Al Saud regime. The regime has taken the families hostage to make sure that the criminals remain loyal to their missions and plots in Syria.
Pardoning inmates in return for terrorist operations in Syria is not
confined to Saudi Arabia, and Qatar and some other Persian Gulf states
have followed suit” (source: Saudi Arabia Sending Death Convicts to
Syria to Help Rebels http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9107125672 ) .
The report indicated that so far thousands of criminals have been
loosed on Syria to help wage a foreign sponsored terrorist war against
the regime.
We contacted the U.S. State Department which, not surprisingly refused comment on this story.
