Debka File: British and Qatari Spec Ops already Operating in Syria

[Ó Donnchadha]

British and Qatari special operations units are operating with rebel forces under cover in the Syrian city of Homs just 162 kilometers from Damascus, according to debkafile’s exclusive military and intelligence sources. The foreign troops are not engaged in direct combat with the Syrian forces bombarding different parts of Syria's third largest city of 1.2 million. They are tactical advisers, manage rebel communications lines and relay their requests for arms, ammo, fighters and logistical aid to outside suppliers, mostly in Turkey.

This site is the first to report the presence of foreign military forces in any of the Syrian uprising's embattled areas.
Our sources report the two foreign contingents have set up four centers of operation - in the northern Homs district of Khaldiya, Bab Amro in the east, and Bab Derib and Rastan in the north. Each district is home to about a quarter of a million people.

More details as they unfold will be available in the coming DEBKA-Net-Weekly issue out Friday.

Debka has been ahead of the curve on enough events to be deemed accurate.

I wonder weather Assad will show them the same courtesy Gaddaffi showed NATO special forces captured in Libya by returning them.

But in guests of the nation, the captured troops were deemed part of the terrorism of the ruling power attempting to Subjugate the democratic will of the Irish people.
If Special Forces are there, they are brave and good luck to them and to the Syrian people. The Assad regime (an unelected absolute autocratic monarchy) has been evil for decades. Remember the pregnant Irish girl conned into nearly blowing herself and a jet load of people up. Also what they've done in Lebanon and mostly what they've done to their own people.

Nothing new about that. The USA is full steam ahead overthrowing governments they don't like [well done the nice man Obama].

The numptees on here needn't get too smug either - two European governments [Italy and Greece] have already been overthrown this year.

Gaddafi didn't have any NATO SF....
