Asayish reveal confessions of 'Turkish cell' tried to kill SDF leaders
2023-06-14
[NPASYRIA] The Internal Security Forces (Asayish) released on Tuesday a video featuring the confessions of a "Ottoman Turkish cell" involved in espionage for Ottoman Turkish intelligence. The "cell" was also tasked with assassinating leaders of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the US-led Global Coalition.

The confession video, published by the Asayish, featured three individuals: Abdulaziz Khalo, 32, from Raqqa, and the two brothers Uday Ali Saleh, 21, and Qusai Ali Saleh, 22, both from Raqqa and residing in the Talae neighborhood in Hasakah.

The cell stated in their confessions that a person named Basim Khalo — who belongs to the Grey Wolves, a Ottoman Turkish far-right organization, and works with the Hamza Division, affiliated with the Ottoman Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) — "asked us for information about the locations and names of SDF leaders in exchange for financial rewards based on the value of the provided information."

Abdulaziz Khalo said that he collaborated with his cousin, Qusai Ali Saleh, who provided him with information on the locations of weapons, trenches, and names of SDF leaders in exchange for an initial payment of $100.

He added that his cousin also sent him "the names of 27 leaders and 120 officials working in the SDF" in exchange for a payment. According to the confession, after two days of sending the information, they were asked to poison a joint military unit between the SDF and the Coalition through water or food in exchange for $10,000.

However,
there's more than one way to skin a cat...
the Asayish’s General Security Apparatus arrested them before going on with their plan.
