Saudi Prince Bandar behind chemical attack in Syria: report

Syrians in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta say Saudi Arabia provided chemical weapons for an Al-Qaeda linked terrorist group which they blame for the August 21 chemical attack in the region, a Mint Press News report says.
The article co-authored by a veteran AP reporter, said interviews with doctors, residents, anti-government forces and their families in Ghouta suggest the terrorists in question received chemical weapons via Saudi spymaster Saudi Arabia's intelligence chief Prince Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud.
The report quoted the father of a militant as saying that his son and 12 others were killed inside a tunnel used to store weapons supplied by a Saudi militant leader, known as Abu Ayesha.
The man described the weapons as having a tube-like structure while others were like a huge gas bottle.
Anti-government forces, interviewed in the article, complained they were not informed of the nature of the weapons they had been given, nor did they receive instructions how to use them.
When Saudi Prince Bandar gives such weapons to people, he must give them to those who know how to handle and use them, said one militant.
Another militant accused the Takfiri militants of the Al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front of refusing to cooperate with other insurgents or sharing secret information. They merely used some ordinary rebels to carry and operate this material, he said.
We were very curious about these arms. And unfortunately, some of the fighters handled the weapons improperly and set off the explosions, he added.
The authors noted that the doctors who treated the chemical weapons attack victims cautioned interviewers against asking questions regarding who exactly was responsible for the deadly assault.
Also more than a dozen militants interviewed said their salaries came from the Saudi government. They reportedly said Prince Bandar is referred to as al-Habib (the lover) by al-Qaeda militants fighting in Syria.
According to Independent, it was Prince Bandars intelligence agency that first accused the Syrian government in February of using sarin gas in a bid to rally support for Riyadhs efforts to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
And The Wall Street Journal has reported that the Saudi spy chief is considered by the CIA as a veteran of the diplomatic intrigues of Washington and the Arab world [who] could deliver what the CIA couldnt: planeloads of money and arms, and...wasta, Arabic for under-the-table clout.

We are not allowed to blame our Saudi “allies” for ANYTHING...even after 15 of 19 9/11 mass murderers are Saudis. They are and will never be responsible for anything.

In either event, it looks like the rebels were the ones planning to use the nerve gas and screwed up.Believe me when I say things are going as planned, except for the part about the 13th Imam* riding to the rescue of the MB.

Yes, I sort of figured that, The question is why is Iran trying to blame it on the Saudis. And are they guilty.?

Iran just wants to sow division between SAudi Arabia and the US. We owe these sand monkeys nothing. If Iran were to nuke the Saudis off the face of the earth and the Saudis the Iranians likewise it would be a good start.

Have you heard of O-I-L?
We are still dependent on it and we better keep some friends in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia is one of the few left.
The Shah of Iran was our friend, but as a result of Carter’s lack of support against the Islamists, now Iran is an Islamic terrorist nation about to have a nuclear bomb.
As I said, we better keep and support our friends in the ME.

Have you heard of O-I-L? Ah, so we get to the heart of the matter. Rather than develop Bakken or the Keystone pipeline we're going to keep crawling on our knees to filthy sand pirates for our meth fix.

Your ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF doesn't give a damn about this country.
He only wants to destroy it, and get rich in the process.
He's playing you for a fool.
