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.

I’m not sure the Tehran Times counts as a reliable source. In fact, I’m pretty sure it doesn’t.

The
Muslims are guilty of the chemical attack, not the Christians, and the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF knows it.
But the
ARAB-
KENYANand MUSLIM defiling the Oval Office doesn't care.
Barack Hussein Obama II,
(a.k.a. Barry Soetoro) just want to turn Syria into another Muslim Brotherhood run country, and kill Christians.
It's just that simple!
If the liar's administration wants to AIR STRIKE someone, strike the GUILTY ONES, Saudia Arabia, and Saudi Prince Bandar, along with ALL the Muslim Brotherhood.
And strike the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF, while you're at it.

GH and W Bush were Republicans. And the Saudi Wahhabists had no greater friends than they.

During the Boston Atrocity, the crowds captured
a Saudi, whom the First Lady and the corrupt First Moslem
allowed to leave, and get off scot-free.
Why?
Did S.A. also kill the Bostonians, like those murdered
during 911?
To: Tea Party Terrorist
True dat. Along with their political dopelgangers on the other side of the aisle, the Clintons.

American foreign policy in the Middle East can be boiled down to one goal since 1989 (at least): Cleanse all non-Muslims from the entire area.

Who knows where they came from. The Mideast is a center of fanatics, murderers, Assassins, liars and crooks. Everyone has an agenda and there are plots and counter plots, conspiracies and counter conspiracies, intrigues, treachery, duplicity and who knows what else. The leaders are corrupt murderers who have learned to survive by playing both sides against the center and nothing is ever the way it looks. It is the tinderbox of the world, the center of terrorism and every enemy we have is involved some way so we have to be involved. But, it is always bad news to be too involved and whenever possible it is best to leave these people alone to kill each other in peace.

How come the Tehran Times can find thing out that our Intelligence sources cannot’
IMO our intelligence forces are told to find out what Obama wants them to find out.

Or, in the words of Sarah Palin, “Let Allah decide.”
When your enemies are fighting each other, don’t get involved.

I’m not saying the report is false. It may all very well be true. But I’d prefer to read it from someone or something other than a mouthpiece for the Ayatollahs. :/
