| 2013-03-26 |
| [An Nahar] The rebel Free Syria Army announced on Monday that it believes Hizbullah and Iran might have been involved in the liquidation attempt of FSA Commander Riad al-Asaad in eastern Syria. "I do not think the opposition has any role in the attack on al-Asaad but there are other undercover parties that might have been involved," FSA Joint Command front man Fahd al-Masri told radio Voice of Leb (100.5). He noted: "The Syrian regime has planted many spies and detectives. Hizbullah and Iran might have played a role". Al-Masri lamented: "The opposition is fragmented and has not been up to the expectations and the sacrifices Syria has given". Commenting on al-Asaad's health condition, al-Masri revealed that "he might lose his life". He elaborated: "He has lost his leg in the blast and he is in a very critical condition". "If he dies, God forbids, it would be a huge loss to Syria". Al-Asaad was maimed overnight in a blast that hit his car in eastern Syria, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights watchdog said on Monday. A government official in Ankara confirmed Asaad had been hurt, saying he had lost a leg in the attack but that he was in "good condition" after being rushed across the Syrian border into Turkey for treatment. |
