Made in KSA<\/strong><br \/>\nLocal Editor &#8211; 15January, 2013 &#8211; Moqawama.org<\/p>\n<p>A specialized report in strategic affairs issued in Paris revealed that the Saudi General Intelligence is the founder and establisher of &#8220;al-Nusra Front in Levant&#8221; that plots to establish an &#8220;Emirate in Syria.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Al-Nusra Front, Saudi-Made with Lebanese Assistance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In detail, an &#8220;Intelligence Online&#8221; report, which receives information from foreign intelligence sources, mentioned, &#8220;The Saudi General Intelligence, controlled by Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz, exploited its broad calls with Takfiri [atoning] movements in Iraq to help establish al-Nusra Front, a low-profile Takfiri movement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The report added, &#8220;Thanks to funding from the General Intelligence Department and support from the Saudi Intelligence in Lebanon, al-Nusra was able to swiftly arm its forces, and make the Syrian regime suffer painful blows through its expertise in Iraqi bombings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Strikes of this sort included dominating Sheikh Suleiman Base in Aleppo and invading Yarmouk Palestinian Refugee Camp on the 16th of December 2012.<\/p>\n<p>However, many websites had recently published what seemed to be leaked confidential documents issued from the KSA&#8217;s Interior, which spoke of &#8220;a Saudi military official supplying armed groups in Syria with money and weaponry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another leaked document mentioned &#8220;an amnesty to hundreds of criminals sentenced to death on charges of drug-trafficking, murder, and rape, was issued to send them to fight in Syria among the militias of the [so-called] Free Syrian Army.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the US administration had recently listed &#8220;al-Nusra Front&#8221; as a terrorist organization for being linked to al-Qaeda, after performing hundreds of bombings and attacks in Syria.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nAl-Nusra Front and the Islamic State<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On a parallel note, &#8220;al-Nusra Front&#8221; had revealed that it seeks to establish a so-called &#8220;Islamic&#8221; State in Syria, stressed by its chief Abu Mohammad al-Joulani on the Qatari Jazeera Channel, when addressing his followers, &#8220;The regime&#8217;s collapse in Syria will create a vacuum that you are qualified to fill.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He further accentuated that he is heading towards &#8220;establishing an Emirate and Shura Council in Syria.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Le Nouvel Observateur French weekly cited an &#8220;al-Nusra&#8221; spiritual leader Abu Mohammad al-Atawi as saying, &#8220;Victory will not cease in Syria,&#8221; foreseeing that &#8220;triumph is months away.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Al-Atawi, who taught for a long time in KSA before returning to Jordan, saw that &#8220;The Arab Spring will help Salafists invade the world, starting with Tunisia, then Egypt, Libya, all the way to Syria, and soon in Jordan,&#8221; revealing that the Front &#8220;includes 8,000 men and is increasing.&#8221;<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nAl-Nusra Front and Militia Dominance in Syria<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a similar context, the Salafist Takfiri leader in Jordan Mohammad al-Shalabi, aka &#8220;Abu Sayyaf&#8221;, in an interview with the weekly, emphasized his participation in founding &#8220;al-Nusra Front&#8221; after leaving jail last year on charges of plotting attacks on Jordanian Army bases there.<\/p>\n<p>He further highlighted that he is currently gathering fighters all over Jordan to send them to Syria.<\/p>\n<p>Abu Sayyaf underscored, &#8220;The Front&#8217;s ideology is the same of that of al-Qaeda,&#8221; indicating that his organization &#8220;that moved its battle from Iraq to Syria is about to dominate other fighting groups.&#8221;   <a href=\"http:\/\/english.moqawama.org\/essaydetails.php?eid=22050&#038;cid=269\" target=\"_blank\">&#8230;.source<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"igit_tsb_button\" style=\"float: left;
