The world needs to wake up, al Qaeda exists so powerfully from Mauritania up to the borders of Libya. You can say the Libyans are trying to play the al Qaeda card but it’s being proven every day.

Anti-Damascus Druze cleric forms armed group. BEIRUT – An anti-regime Druze cleric active in Syria’s Suweida province has announced the formation of an armed party, which he cryptically implied had been equipped with the help of Druze compatriots in Israel.
Sheikh Waheed Balaous issued a statement Tuesday heralding the founding of Bayrak al-Fahd (Banner of the Leopard) in the village of Mazraa – the site of a historic August 1925 battle which saw Druze rebels lead by Sultan Pasha al-Atrash rout French troops in a victory that would inspire the Great Syrian Revolt against colonial mandate. “We are against everyone who attacks us. If it is ISIS, ISIS is the enemy. If it is Nusra, Nusra is the enemy. If the state wants to attack us, it is the enemy… Even if my son Fahd wanted to attack my land and my honor he would be the enemy,” the renegade cleric who heads the opposition Sheikhs of Dignity group declared. “We know about the decision of Ali Mamlouk and others to liquidate us.

Nuclear deal: Saudis signal they'll act before Iran gets the money. Amman, Jordan — The nuclear deal that will lift tough sanctions on Iran is mobilizing Saudi Arabia to turn the tide against its regional rival in Yemen and Syria before it makes an economic recovery, military officials and analysts say.
According to the sources, the military component of the Saudi offensive will include the use of special forces on the ground in Yemen, and a potentially widened use of Saudi and allied Sunni air power in Syria. The Saudis have signaled their intent to employ ground forces in Yemen previously, but have not done so. But the potential military initiatives, coupled with signs that the Saudis are cultivating better diplomatic ties with Russia and China, would be a strong indication of how the Iran nuclear deal could impact the regional order in the Middle East. While many Arab leaders, including UAE President Sheikh Khalifa, were quick to welcome Tuesday’s historic deal bringing Iran back into the international fold, Saudi Arabia’s silence spoke volumes.

(TL). WASHINGTON — Key lawmakers have moved to slash funding for a secret CIA operation to train and arm rebels in Syria, a move that federal officials said reflects rising skepticism of the effectiveness of the agency program and the Obama administration's strategy in the Middle East. The House Intelligence Committee recently voted unanimously to cut as much as 20 percent of the classified funds flowing into a CIA program that officials said has become one of the agency's largest covert operations overseas, with a budget approaching $1 billion a year. “There is a great deal of concern on a very bipartisan basis with our strategy in Syria,” said Rep. Dark Saudi-Israeli Plot to Tip the Scales in Syria. A quiet meeting this past March in Saudi Arabia, and a recent anonymous leak from the Israeli military, set the stage for what may be a new and wider war in the Middle East.
Gathering in the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh were Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, newly crowned Saudi King Salman, and the organizer of the get-together, the emir of Qatar. The meeting was an opportunity for Turkey and Saudi Arabia to bury a hatchet over Ankara's support — which Riyadh's opposes — to the Muslim Brotherhood, and to agree to cooperate in overthrowing the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad. Taking Aim at Assad The pact prioritized the defeat of the Damascus regime over the threat posed by the Islamic State and al-Qaeda, and aims to checkmate Iranian influence in the region.
This could change, however, because the Obama administration is divided on how deeply it wants to get entangled in Syria. Not that the Americans are overly concerned about aiding and abetting Islamic extremists.

TEHRAN (FNA)- Tehran once again dismissed as baseless the western media and officials' claims about the presence of Iranian military troops in Syria, underlining that the Syrian nation is powerful enough to defend itself against the terrorists.
"Raising issues like the presence of Syria's friends, including Iran, in the country is baseless. The Syrian nation and government enjoys the power to resist," Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham said in a press conference in Tehran on Wednesday. Noting that Iran is just extending humanitarian aid to Syria, she said that the westerners and their regional allies want to project the blame on others and block the path of political settlement of the Syrian issue. Afkham underscored the necessity for the Syrian people to decide their own fate, and said, "The activities of terrorist groups is harmful to this trend. " Her remarks came after some western and Arab media outlets and officials claimed that Iran has military presence in Syria. Is Russia finally turning its back on Assad? Media reports that the government in Damascus may fall, combined with changing Russian rhetoric and signs of high-level diplomatic meetings between Russia and the U.S. on Syria, could augur a major foreign policy change for Moscow.

Photo: AP Recent media coverage of the ongoing civil war in Syria has been marked by mixed reports about the military successes of the government forces. That, in turn, is leading to increased concerns that the government in Damascus may fall, and that Russia may already be altering its policy stance on Syria in advance of such an event.

Press tours are common in the Middle East, but this was an unlikely one.
Although Sputnik's hosts were fighting the scourge of the region, the Islamic State, they were considered by the United States, Canada and Israel to be terrorists themselves. The day before the trip, a Hezbollah representative told journalists where and when to meet, but didn't specify a route. He requested that Sputnik correspondent Mohamad Alaeddin come in an off-road vehicle, explaining with a joke that they haven't had time to construct roads yet in the areas that had been liberated from the opposition forces. The journey began with a meeting in the Hezbollah press-center in Dahieh, a southern suburb of Beirut. The district is surrounded by army block posts, at which security officials thoroughly check all those attempting to enter the predominantly Shiite suburb. Another US Foreign Policy Success: Isis Controls Half of Syria after Palmyra Seizure.
Congratulations are in order for team Bush and team Obama for another stunning US foreign policy success: Isis Controls Half of Syria after Palmyra Seizure. Fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis) have seized the Syrian city of Palmyra, home to a Unesco world heritage site, putting nearly half of Syrian territory in the jihadi group’s hands and sparking fears that treasured antiquities may be destroyed.Isis announced it had “complete control” of the city on Thursday, and state television said President Bashar al-Assad’s forces had withdrawn from the city, which is known to most Syrians by its Arabic name Tadmur.Ancient Palmyra is known to the world for its iconic avenue of Roman columns, and was a cultural crossroad of the ancient world.
The city dates back to the 1st century, when it was an oasis on a trade route linking eastern civilisations with the Roman empire. Its ruins lie to the southwest of modern Tadmur.

The study, carried out by experts on Syria cultural heritage and UNOSAT satellite image analysts, reviewed 18 different areas inside which a total of 290 locations were found to be directly affected by the ongoing conflict.
UNOSAT based its analysis on a combination of commercially available very high resolution satellite images, UNESCO reports, information from archaeological experts on Syria as well as traditional and social media. “At this point in time we found it important to issue a comprehensive status report to alert decision-makers and the public of deterioration to many of the rich cultural heritage areas in Syria.
