US 'protecting Syria jihadist group' - Russia's Lavrov

[maximuswarrior]

Mr Lavrov insisted Russia was helping President Assad's forces to "fight terrorists"

The US is trying to spare a jihadist group in its attempts to unseat Syria's President Bashar al-Assad, Russia's foreign minister has told the BBC.

Sergei Lavrov said the US had broken its promise to separate the powerful Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (formerly known as al-Nusra Front) and other extremist groups from US-backed moderate rebels.

"They still are not able or willing to do this," he said.

"We believe the plan was to spare Nusra."

He added: "They [have] never touched Nusra anywhere in Syria."

Mr Lavrov was speaking to Stephen Sackur on BBC World News TV on the first anniversary of the beginning of the Russian air campaign in Syria.

He defended the Russian bombardment of the besieged city of Aleppo by Russian and Syrian government forces.

How Moscow’s Syria campaign has paid off for Putin

The United Nations says 400 civilians, including many children, have been killed in the city during the past week.

Mr Lavrov insisted Russia was helping President Assad's forces to "fight terrorists".

And he accused the West of staying quiet about civilian suffering in Aleppo when it was expecting the city to fall to the rebels after the Nusra group moved in and cut supply lines to the civilian population.

Pressed on the civilian casualties in Aleppo allegedly caused by Russian bunker-busting bombs, phosphorus munitions and cluster bombs, he replied: "If this happens, then we are very sorry."

But he insisted there had been no "meaningful proof" and there was a need to investigate every case.

"We are not using any munition which is prohibited by the United Nations."

The US is trying to spare a Syrian jihadist group in case it is needed to unseat President Assad, the Russian foreign minister has told the BBC.

Sergei Lavrov said the US had broken its promise to separate the powerful Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (formerly known as al-Nusra Front) and other extremist groups from US-backed moderate rebels.

"They still are not able or willing to do this," he said.

"We believe the plan was to spare Nusra."

Blah blah blah

The commander Abu Hajer al Homsi, whose alias is Abu Omar Saraqeb, was killed in a rural area of Aleppo province, they said, where the group has played an instrumental role in ongoing battles against the Syrian army troops and Iranian-backed Shi'ite militias in the gateway city of Aleppo.

An announcement by the group said he was "martyred" in an air strike in the countryside of Aleppo. The nationality of the jets that hit the location was not immediately known, but a rebel source said initial information suggested it was most likely a U.S. jet that struck the hideout.

Since the U.S.-led coalition was launched, air strikes have targeted Nusra Front figures in Syria, killing scores. But this marked the first time a key figure has been targeted since the group's name change.

USA created Daesh, and it is supporting Daesh.

Obama Protects Terrorists: US Rescue ISIS

Michel Chossudovsky | Wednesday, September 21, 2016, 13:33 Beijing

The original source of this article is Global Research

Testimonies of Syrian Soldiers Who Witnessed the US Airstrikes

These testimonies by Syrian soldiers who are fighting the Islamic State rebels (ISIS-Daesh) confirm what we already know.

The United States of America is not fighting the terrorists in Syria.

The Obama administration, with the support of its allies including Turkey and Saudi Arabia, is supporting the Islamic State (ISIS Daesh)

Obama’s counterterrorism campaign in Syria and Iraq is bogus.

Read carefully:

The testimonies confirm the unspoken truth:

OBAMA IS PROTECTING THE TERRORISTS

- We [Syrian soldiers] first thought the aircraft are support to us after the first 2 shots, but we quickly found out that they are targeting our forces aggressively, while we were fighting IS terrorists. The aircraft used cluster bombs against us.

- A day before the airstrikes, the [US] drones were flying and scanning all the area

- The US air-strikes destroyed all our equipment and defense points.


- IS fighters attacked us immediately after and during the US strikes. Some of them were laughing


- US drones and helicopters opened fire from machine guns on our retreated forces


- It for sure wasn’t a mistake, they targeted us intentionally to help IS.


- America is ISIS itself

Translation from Arabic (H. E)

The US Air strikes were deliberate, they were carefully planned and coordinated with ISIS-Daesh commandos on the ground.

The bombings enabled the ISIS-Daesh Islamic State mercenaries to wage an effective counterattack against Syrian government forces.

The “incident” was casually dismissed by America’s media: “US airstrikes Missed ISIS, but Damaged US Policy in Syria”.

Fake media reports support a fake “war on terrorism”: Sorry, collateral damage, we got our targets mixed up…

And then they tell us (i.e the Western media) that the Islamic State is threatening the Western World, that ISIS-Daesh cells are responsible for the terror attacks in Europe and the US.

“The US homeland is under attack and we must defend ourselves.”

Nonsense! Washington and its allies are the State Sponsors of Terrorism.

The various jihadist organizations including ISIS-Daesh and al Nusra are supported and funded by the Western military alliance.

In the words of Oliver Stone:

‘We’re Not under Threat. We Are the Threat’
“We Must Defend Ourselves”

The weekend bombings in New York and New Jersey have served to distract public attention from the fact (amply documented) that US forces in Syria are protecting the ISIS-Daesh terrorists.

According to Obama, the terrorists (in NY and NJ) were:

“trying to hurt the innocent, but they also want to inspire fear on all of us. … We all have a role to play as citizens to make sure we don’t succumb to that fear.”

In the words of the New York Times, president Obama:

”put these attacks [New York, New Jersey, Minnesota] in the context of the military campaign in Syria and Iraq against the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL”.

Nonsense. These events have nothing to do with the military campaign in Syria. The USA is supporting the Islamic State.

“We’re going to take out their leaders; we’re going to take out their infrastructure,… As we take away more of their territory, it exposes ISIL as the failed cause it is.”, said Obama.

Obama: You are the failed cause, because you are the ISIL. Your administration embodies terrorism.

Political lies are sustained by media disinformation and war propaganda. The US is supporting the Islamic State. The ISIS rebels are the foot-soldiers of the Western military alliance.

USA exterminated Native Americans. I'm afraid USA now want to exterminate Muslims.

 

[alarabi]

So this communist terrorist has been bombing the FSA and civilians in Syria (particularly in Aleppo) since his country started its military operation, and yet he thinks he has been bombing terrorists!
Mr communist Lavrove, what kind of messed up weed you got in Moscow?

Everybody knows the hypocrisy of American. Just like how US told China shall obey tribunal law on SCS issue while they themselves suddenly exempted.

It's hard to disagree with President Duterte.
One should never ever trust "USA". As Bernard Lewis said: „America is harmless as an enemy but trecherous as a friend”.

Why is USA and Western countries arming/training terrorists?

Are they good terrorists? Just wondering.

There are no good guys in Syria.
Each of the parties in Syria chase after their interests while trying to kill his opponents.

 

[coffee_cup]

How can terrorist be good? You really think US and western are angels? They do things just to help the world?

Well for Americans everything is possible. If they support someone, it is "good terrorist/freedom fighter". Same people become worst terrorists when USA doesnt need them anymore.

Osama Bin Laden and co are a prime example.

 

[Piotr]

Why is USA and Western countries arming/training terrorists?

Why USA exterminated Native Americans? Maybe because Yanks like killing people.

Are they good terrorists? Just wondering.

US propadanda bullhorns (CNN, Fox News etc.) call them "moderate terrorist ... ups moderate fighters".

Jewish Financier Globalists, like Soros, and Rockefeller want to unite the world under them. This includes population control measures, genocide, and psyops.
