Geneva, SANA – “All facts indicate that the US attack on a Syrian military position in al-Tharda Mountain in Deir Ezzor was deliberate and pre-planned and aimed to pave the way for the ISIS terrorists to attack and take control over the site,” Syria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Geneva, Ambassador Hussam Eddin Ala said on Monday.
Ala made his remarks during an interactive dialogue with the Commission of Inquiry on Syria at the 33th session of the Human Rights Council held at the UN headquarters in Geneva.
He added that the US-led coalition aircrafts launched an airstrike against a position for the Syrian Arab army in the surroundings of Deir Ezzor Airport on Saturday and all the facts indicate that it is “deliberate” and “pre-planned”, noting that the attack provides a clear evidence that the illegal coalition formed by the US under the pretext of fighting the ISIS is not only involved in this terrorist organization, moreover, there is direct coordination between the two sides in the same way that Israeli entity supports Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist organization in their attacks against Syrian military sites and safe towns in Daraa and Quneitra provinces.
The Ambassador noted that that aggression is the latest in of a series of US attacks against service facilities and infrastructures resulted in billions of dollars’ worth of damages and losses such as power plants in the Radwaniyah area and al-Khafseh water pumping stations, east to Aleppo, not to mention hundreds of civilians deaths, calling into mind the massacre perpetrated by the US and French aircrafts in the countryside of Manbij on July 19th and has led to the death of 120 civilians and the injury of hundreds of others.
He noted that the international commission’s reports which have often overlooked such attacks or just stated them are but part of the war waged on Syria, taking into account the tens of thousands of foreign terrorists who were funded, armed and trained by the US, France, Britain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, pointing put to a study published in British newspapers estimating the total value of weapons sent to terrorists in Syria in the years 2012 and 2014 at more than 1.2 billion euro.
He indicated to the reports submitted by the Working Group on mercenaries on their missions to Belgium and Tunisia present important information on ISIS recruiting networks, motives of foreign terrorists, sources of funds and the Turkish cities they walked through to reach the borders and enter the Syrian territories, yet the Commission insists on dealing with what it calls the “conflict dynamics” separately from the current events and foreign interventions which fuel and exploit terrorism.
The most important fact to be taken seriously is that the first batch of foreign terrorists who was sent to fight in Syria moved to the country in 2010, i.e. before the eruption of events in Syria, which refutes the story circulated by the UN Commission on Human Rights as well as the International Commission in their reports which hold the Syrian government responsible for current events and deny its right and duty to protect its people from terrorism.
