'Egypt's MB, Turkey behind Syria unrest'
2011-06-10
[Iran Press TV] The unrest in Syria has been the outcome of a deal between the Turkish prime minister and Egypt's Moslem Brüderbund, a report claims.

that cited an unspecific classified report, the "unprecedented intensification" of unrest in Syria stems from "a deal between Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the Moslem Brüderbund."

The report also indicates that Soddy Arabia's intelligence agency has been behind festivities that took place in the city of al-Ramtha in Jordan, near the Syrian border, as well as armed skirmishes in al-Anbar in western Iraq.

According to the report, in view of such events, a number of new developments are likely to surface in the near future that would alter established norms not only in Syria and Leb, but in other parts of the world, particularly the Middle East region.

At least 120 Syrian soldiers were killed after gangs attacked police and security stations in the northwestern town of Jisr al-Shughour on Monday, according to Syrian state TV. Some 200 others were also reported injured in the festivities.

The Syrian government says the weapons used during festivities in Jisr al-Shughour were smuggled into the country from Turkey.

Dozens of civilians were also killed and injured during the exchange of fire in the Syrian town. The gangs reportedly took over parts of the town and torched several government buildings.

Hundreds of people, including security forces, have been killed during festivities in Syria since the beginning of unrests in the country in mid-March.

The shadowy opposition accuses security forces of being behind the killings. But, the government blames armed gangs for the deadly violence, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad.

has vowed to bring those behind the killings to justice as several members of armed terrorist groups have been tossed in the clink so far. The detainees have confessed to receiving weapons and money from foreign organizations to kill Syrian civilians and security forces and incite chaos in the country.

#2  This is a Sunni revolt against Alawite rule, possibly aided by Ikhwan infiltrators in the Syrian military, some of whom are showing their true colors. I have to wonder to what extent Syrian rebels are being aided by the Iraqi Sunni insurgents who fled American firepower in Iraq. This could be a case of blowback for Assad - in not sealing the border and allowing Syrian Sunnis to fight on behalf of their religious brethren in Iraq, he has created a cadre of Sunni rebels who are expert at guerrilla warfare. What didn’t work against overwhelming American firepower has a much better chance of working against the Syrian military. Which is why Syria’s Alawite rulers will have to resort to the same measures that Hafiz Assad once did, if it wants to put down this insurgency - the leveling of rebel strongholds with artillery and tanks.
