The official Turkish news agency (Anatolia) reported in a short news item that the Turkish intelligence service (MIT) arrested two ISIS terrorists during a security operation in Syria.
Faraan: The news came as information about Idlib is highly intertwined and multifaceted, as well as beyond the scope of Turkish intelligence operations.
Following this information closely, one can link the developments in Idlib at that time to the vague and incomplete news that Orhan Moran and Mustafa Qalihli, whom Turkey announced were detained during a security operation in northern Syria, yet they have been in the prisons of the terrorist group Jabhat al-Nusra since April 4, 2021
The two members of the terrorist group under the command of Abu Dharr al-Masri are prominent leaders of the “Haras al-Dayim” group, who were arrested in April 2021 by Jabhat al-Nusra on a side road leading to the city of Ma’ra al-Misrin, north of Idlib.
This means exchanging prisoners between Jabhat al-Nusra and Turkish intelligence within the framework of an agreement, which sources suggest is part of the process of recycling terrorists and removing foreign elements from their areas of influence and handing them over to the Turkish government so that Ankara can transfer them to other countries involved, such as Afghanistan and Ukraine.
Informed sources stressed that the Turkish side transports terrorists from different armed groups to Ukraine from Istanbul airport by a rescue plane. The plane first lands in one of Ukraine’s neighboring European countries and then these armed elements enter Ukraine by land under the pretext of relief.
The same sources stated that the process of transferring and equipping the armed elements had begun a few months before the Russian military operation in Ukraine, and that Turkey had sent large numbers of these armed elements under the guise of “guardians of Turkish investment companies in Ukraine or their workers.”
Two days before the news broke, the Anatolian News Agency reported that customs had seized about 2.442 million narcotics pills embedded in pickle boxes in two trucks near the Bab al-Hawi crossing. The sources emphasize that the shipment of drugs belonged to the Jabhat al-Nusra group, which led Abu Muhammad al-Julani to offer the Turkish government several prisoners, including two Turkish citizens and several nationals, in exchange for ignoring the shipment. Others detained by the group will be released.
This angered the Takfiris in Idlib and they criticized Al-Golani’s decision, which is an objective reason for the differences between the Takfiris in this northern Syrian province. All of this shows that the ongoing relationship between Turkey and Jabhat al-Nusra is a strategic alliance, which is why Turkey wants to embellish the black face of this terrorist group and present it as a “moderate group.” It is part of a US-Turkish conspiracy to disrupt the Astana-Sochi agreement and exploit the international community’s involvement in military operations in Ukraine.
