FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Ayman Mohammed Rabie al-Zawahiri, the current head of the terrorist group, made the plea in a video posted on the internet on Sunday.
He also called on anti-government elements in Syria to push for regime change in the country and urged them to continue their ‘revolt and anger.”
The development came as some in Lebanon suspect cooperation between al-Qaeda and the Western-backed March 14 Alliance, a Lebanese coalition, which has likewise expressed support for the overthrow of Assad’s government.
Lebanon is not known as an al-Qaeda hub. The group, however, is believed to have been maintaining a presence in the country particularly after Syria began facing unrest last year.
“A group of people, who actually claim to belong to the Future Movement (the March 14 Alliance’s largest party), have taken to extreme proportions that are sectarian. They think that they represent the Sunni population that is being oppressed by the Shia, which is a total fallacy. Therefore, they react by threatening (the Syrian government) with the use of al-Qaeda and other extremist movements,” Omar Nashabe from Al Akhbar, a Lebanese newspaper, told our correspondent on Tuesday.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March 2011, with demonstrations being held both in favor of and against Assad.
Hundreds of people, including many members of the Syrian security forces, have been killed during the violence.
Damascus blames ‘outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups’ for the violence, asserting that it is being orchestrated from abroad. However, the West and the Syrian opposition accuse the government of generating the unrest.
Ahmad Fatfat, Future Movement MP, told Press TV, “Our stance towards Syria is based on three principles, expressing our political, media, and humanitarian support” for the anti-Damascus movement in the country.
