West-US Will Face Fiasco In Syria: Firouzabadi

Tehran, Sept 8, IRNA -- A top military commander said that said that the efforts of the West and the US will eventually fail in Syria and they will face a fiasco there. 'Emergence of new forms of terrorism such as al-Qaeda militants who are confronting the people and government of Syria is the old scenario being pursued by the arrogant powers against the Muslim nations as the world is currently witnessing in Syria,' Iran's Armed Forces Chief of Staff Major General Seyyed Hassan Firouzabadi said while referring to the efforts of the anti-Syria alliance led by the US and some European governments, as well as the Zionist regime. Referring to the role of state intelligence services of the big powers in funding the terrorist groups, the commander said that creating rift among Muslims and radicalism pursued by al-Qaeda are the plots pursued by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) , Zionist regime's Mossad and UK's MI6 against Muslims across the world. Major General Firouzabadi said that CIA and Mossad are trying to create a rift among Muslims (Sunnis and Shias) through dispatching apparently religious groups who are actually terrorist groups and engage in terrorist activities. 'Supporting al-Qaeda and commissioning with missions such as civil war in Syria and massacre of the innocent Syrian people by the US and western mercenaries will eventually have a reverse effect and backfire on the big powers themselves,' he added./end
