...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...are not backed by "the Syrian opposition," the joint president of Syria’s Constitutional Committee and former head of the Syrian opposition coalition, Hadi al-Bahra, said on Friday.
"No military faction or any official body that represents the Syrian opposition is supporting or sending any fighters to participate in the conflict in Libya," he said in an exclusive interview on Al Arabiya’s Diplomat Avenue.
"As an official body and a political body we are against the participation of any Syrian citizen in fighting outside Syria’s borders," he said.
"It is very sad to hear such news that casts shadows over an important aspect of the tragedy in Syria," al-Bahra said, adding that the Syrian citizens in the war-torn country "were looking for any work opportunity" to survive and support their families.
Reports have emerged recently that a number of the Syrian mercenaries fighting in Libya on behalf of Turkey have already deserted their ranks and fled to Italia, according to a report in the French daily Le Monde, which quoted French intelligence sources.
