‘Terrorists’ Operating in Syria, UN Confirms
Tuesday, 18 September 2012
An increasing number of “foreign elements” including jihadist are
operating in Syria, an independent U.N. panel confirmed yesterday in its first
report to say that outside “terrorists” have joined a war spiraling out of
control.
The investigative panel appointed by the Human Rights Council said some
of these forces are joining armed anti-government groups while others are
operating on their own. “Such elements tend to push anti-government fighters
towards more radical positions,” the head of the panel, Brazilian diplomat and
Professor Paulo Sergio Pinheiro, told diplomats. He referred to the foreigners
as “terrorists,” though the word did not appear in the written report,
according to the Associated Press.
Syria accuses Turkey
Pinheiro said they had drawn up a new secret list of Syrians and military
units suspected of committing war crimes who ought to be prosecuted, Reuters
reported. He did not say if any Syrian rebels were among the names on the list,
which updated a confidential one his team submitted to U.N. rights chief Navi
Pillay in February. Meanwhile, Syria accused Turkey of allowing thousands of
Muslim extremists to cross into its territory.
In letters sent to the U.N. Security Council and Secretary-General Ban
Ki-Moon on Sept. 16, Syria’s Foreign Ministry said Turkey allowed “thousands of
al-Qaeda, Takfiri and Wahhabi terrorists” access to the country in order to
“kill innocent Syrians, blow up their properties and spread chaos and
destruction.” Turkish Foreign Ministry strongly rejected Syria’s accusations
and called on Syria to stop crackdown on its own people.
