Known Terrorist Visited Washington
By Stephen Lendman

Ahrar al-Sham operates like ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra. The latter two are
Security Council designated terrorist groups.
America, Britain and France blocked Ahrah al-Shams inclusion, providing the
group with direct support along with likeminded regional ones.
On May 21, McClatchy DC headlined senior Syrian rebel whose group is linked
to al Qaida visited US, saying he was granted permission to come, raising
questions about the Obama administrations choice of regional partners -
and credibility for letting a known terrorist visit Washington.
Labib al Nahhas calls himself Ahrar al Shams foreign affairs director.
Apparently hes a valued US ally. Its unknown who he met with.
State Department spokesman admiral John Kirby lied claim no US knowledge of
his presence in Washington. He tried dismissing well-known Obama
administration involvement with and direct support for terrorist groups in
Syria, the region and beyond.
We dont discuss visa records, he said. In general, US officials have
engaged with a range of Syrian opposition groups, including Ahrar al
Sham
However, we are not going to get into the details of any such
discussions.
Ahrar al Sham is one of the largest and most ruthless terrorist groups in
Syria - used along with likeminded ones as US imperial foot soldiers,
Washington wanting Assad ousted, Syrian sovereignty destroyed.
The group was involved in numerous terrorist attacks, massacring defenseless
civilians - with full US support and encouragement.
According to McClatchy, Nahhas freely travels to Western capitals. Media
scoundrels publish his op-eds, claiming his views are moderate. No regional
moderate terrorist groups exist.
Washingtons absurd reason for not wanting Ahrar al Sham designated a
terrorist organization is it would do more harm than good on the ground.
On May 11, Washington, Britain and France blocked a Russian proposal to
include Ahrar al-Sham and Jaysh-al-Islam among Security Council terrorist
groups.
America and its rogue allies support them in Syria and elsewhere. They
undermine peace and stability while claiming otherwise.
They want endless war continued to oust Assad and destroy Syrian sovereign.
Russias best efforts for diplomatic conflict resolution are unattainable
because Washington rejects them.
