FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Chief public prosecutor of the southern Turkish province of Hatay, Adem Yazar, said in a statement issued on Monday that an investigation was launched when the police were informed that a Syrian colonel, currently residing in a tent city in the village of Apaydin in Hatay province near the Syrian border, was going to be abducted and handed over to the Syrian authorities, IRNA reported.
The statement added that two of the three suspects are Turkish nationals.
Turkish media outlets had earlier alleged that Syrian military defector Col. Hussein Harmush was handed over to Syrian security forces after he was kidnapped from a refugee camp in Altinozu in Hatay province in September and was executed by the Syrian security forces.
These media outlets called Harmush the first high-ranking Syrian military officer to declare his opposition to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, saying that he established the Brigade of Free Officers, a group of army deserters who later became part of the so-called Free Syrian Army, an armed opposition group headed by Syrian Col. Riyadh al-Asaad.
