Syria: Terrorists Confess to Committing Murder, Rape, Abduction and so on

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Terrorist Abdelkafi Abdelhamid Bakkour, a farmer born in Homs in 1980, said that he started off by being part of group that attempted to incite people to protest, and his job was to transport protestors from mosques to squares in the town of al-Qseir.

Afterwards, he and his cohorts were offered money to bear arms, and they accepted and received a rifle, a backpack, four magazine and two grenades each. They started by attacking an intelligence detachment and setting up a roadblock in al-Qseir.

Bakkour and his cohorts would halt passing cars and rob the passengers of their money, gold and mobile phones, and once he abducted two women and took them to nearby fields where he raped them then let them go.

Afterwards, Bakkour and some members of his group accompanied an empty fuel tanker into Lebanon in order to smuggle weapons into Syria, and they filled the tanker with 30 rifles and ammo, then they delivered the weapons to a man called Abu Jaafar Bakkar in al-Bayouda area.

Bakkour and his group smuggled weapons from Lebanon to Syria several times using motorbikes, delivering shipments containing 30 rifles and ammo each, adding that he wanted to become a professional weapon smuggler, so he tried to approach their contact in Lebanon who provided the weapons, a Syrian called Mehiddin Jarban, and asked him about his sources, and after initially refusing to divulge them, Jarban said that the weapons came from the Future Movement in Lebanon, and that they're the ones supporting him.

He also confessed to attacking the municipal building in al-Qseir with his group, opening heavy fire on it, only to learn later that they killed four people.

In turn, terrorist Ahmad Amin Fayyad, a farmer from al-Qseir area, said that he started off by joining protests then he was recruited by Ahmad Amon who was forming an armed group.

Amon gave each member of the group a rifle and instructed them to attack military checkpoints, and so they attacked two checkpoints, then Amon told them to smuggle weapons from Lebanon to Syria, and they did as they were told and delivered 60 rifles, 5 sniper rifles, grenades and ammo to Amon, who paid them SYP 25,000 for bringing the weapons, and at a later time they smuggled four journalists from Lebanon into Syria and escorted them to their headquarters where they stayed for a day then left with Amon.

Fayyad also confessed to setting up a roadblock on al-Aboudiye road and robbing cars that passed buys, stealing phones, money and sometimes various things they found in the cars.

Similarly, terrorist Haitham Mohammad al-Qassem, born in al-Houla in 1975, said that a man called Khalil asked him to form a detachment and contacted a man called Mohammad Saad Shamseddin to provide them with weapons. He met Shamseddin and agreed to begin taking weapons one a time, either an RPG launcher or an AK-47 rifle, and al-Qassem was paid SYP 10 to 15 thousand per shipment.

Al-Qassem went on to say that he joined the detachment formed by Khalil, which consisted of civilians only, and they took control of a cement warehouse to use as headquarters.

He said that they started off by abducting two women and raping them, and afterwards they abducted two other women and attempted to rape them but they resisted, so they murdered them and dumped their body.

Al-Qassem said that they then began attacking checkpoints and security points, beginning with Teldo police department and a security checkpoint, followed by two more, then he was instructed to go to Damascus countryside since he was a driver by profession and wouldn't arouse suspicion.

He met his contact in Damascus Countryside who gave him medicine, SYP 50,000 and gold bracelets, but he was halted by a military security patrol in al-Houla area and arrested.

For his part, terrorist Salman Khaled al-Kurdi, born in Telkalakh in 1990, said that he had been smuggling cigarettes and weapons from 2010 and throughout the events.

Al-Kurdi was approached by two men, Mohannad al-Hasan and Hammoud al-Leili, who asked him to smuggle weapons to armed groups and he agreed, and began smuggling firearms from a village called Jenin to the village of al-Ameriya, receiving the weapons from a Lebanese man and two others then delivering them to two others who distributed them among armed groups in Telkalakh, al-Zara and al-Hosn areas.

He confessed to smuggling 11 weapon shipments, one of which included wireless communication devices. Each shipment consisted of 10 rifles equipped with scopes, 5 rocket launchers, and FAL and M16 rifles.

Al-Kurdi said that upon the instructions of al-Hasan and al-Leili, he began smuggling members of Islamist groups into Syria, smuggling 23 fully-armed men and receiving SYP 5000 for each gunmen he brought into Syria. He added that the gunmen were Lebanese and that they were distributed among various areas, with most of them ending up in al-Hosn Citadel (Krak des Chevaliers).
