[REGNUM]. An attempted terrorist attack against Syrian government troops was thwarted in the Syrian region of Al-Tanf. This was announced on May 19 at a briefing by the deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties in the Arab Republic (TsPVS), Rear Admiral Oleg Gurinov .

ATTACK ATTEMPTED IN AL-TANF REGION FOILED IN SYRIA
As Gurinov clarified, an attempt to commit a terrorist attack against the Syrian security forces was stopped in the Al-Tanf region, which is under the control of the so-called "international anti-terrorist coalition."

It is noted that a group of militants was found in the area west of Mount Tell al-Tuwayed on May 18 at about 23:30 local time. The militants in three pickup trucks were noticed by servicemen of point 134 of the tank brigade of the Syrian armed forces, the terrorists tried to covertly leave the al-Tanf area.

After fire from the Syrian security forces, the group managed to hide in the area of ​​​​the Slubi valley, in the territory under the control of the “coalition” troops.

Gurinov pointed out that the incident clearly demonstrated the inability of the "coalition" to ensure control over the al-Tanf regions, as well as to fulfill obligations to suppress terrorist attacks by radical extremist groups that maintain a presence in southern Syria.

Earlier , IA Regnum reported that the Pentagon's statement about the destruction in early May in the northwestern part of Syria of a militant who allegedly had great influence in the Al-Qaeda terrorist group (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) may turn out to be erroneous .

Experts in the field of combating terrorism, after analyzing the information about the electronic correspondence of militants, did not find any evidence of links between the murdered local resident and terrorist groups.
