Saudi Arabia has said it is time for the world to do everything it could to prevent aggression against the Syrian people, and that it would back a US strike on Syria if the Syrian people did.

Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal made his comments on Sunday as the United States awaits a final decision on strikes against the Syrian government for an alleged chemical gas attack that killed hundreds of civilians.

“We call upon the international community with all its power to stop this aggression against the Syrian people,” Faisal said in Cairo, where he was attending a meeting of Arab League foreign ministers to discuss Syria.

On the prospect of a US strike, he said: “We stand by the will of the Syrian people. They know best their interests, so whatever they accept, we accept, and whatever they refuse, we refuse.”

The Arab League meeting was expected formally to blame Assad for the gas attack.

Al Jazeera’s Nadim Baba, reporting from Cairo, said that Ahmed Aljarba, the head of the opposition Syrian National Council (SNC), would give a speech at the meeting of foreign ministers.

The head of the opposition umbrella group backed by the West and Arab states is expected to ask Arab foreign ministers to back military intervention in Syria.

The Arab League last week had accused the Syrian government of carrying out the chemical-weapons attacks in a suburb of Damascus on August 21.

The Arab League suspended Syria’s membership in 2011 after President Bashar al-Assad’s government failed to abide by an Arab peace plan that aimed to end the conflict.

The 22-member organisation offered in March Syria’s seat to the SNC and decided to let its member nations arm the rebels battling Assad’s government.

John Kerry, the US Secretary of State, named the regional body on Friday among a list of allies “ready to respond” to the alleged chemical-weapons attack.

However, some influential Arab League members, including Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Tunisia and Algeria, have expressed opposition to foreign military intervention in Syria.

Rebels Admit Responsibility for Chemical
Weapons Attack

Syrian rebels in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta have
admitted to Associated Press correspondent Dale Gavlak that
they were responsible for last week’s chemical weapons
incident which western powers have blamed on Bashar Al-
Assad’s forces, revealing that the casualties were the result of
an accident caused by rebels mishandling chemical weapons
provided to them by Saudi Arabia.

“From numerous interviews with
doctors, Ghouta residents, rebel
fighters and their families….many
believe that certain rebels
received chemical weapons via the
Saudi intelligence chief, Prince
Bandar bin Sultan, and were
responsible for carrying out the
(deadly) gas attack,” writes
Gavlak. (back up version here ).
Rebels told Gavlak that they were
not properly trained on how to
handle the chemical weapons or
even told what they were. It
appears as though the weapons
were initially supposed to be
given to the Al-Qaeda offshoot Jabhat al-Nusra.
“We were very curious about these arms. And unfortunately,
some of the fighters handled the weapons improperly and set
off the explosions,” one militant named ‘J’ told Gavlak.

His claims are echoed by another female fighter named ‘K’,
who told Gavlak, “They didn’t tell us what these arms were or
how to use them. We didn’t know they were chemical
weapons. We never imagined they were chemical weapons.”
Abu Abdel-Moneim, the father of an opposition rebel, also told
Gavlak, “My son came to me two weeks ago asking what I
thought the weapons were that he had been asked to carry,”
describing them as having a “tube-like structure” while others
were like a “huge gas bottle.” The father names the Saudi
militant who provided the weapons as Abu Ayesha.
According to Abdel-Moneim, the weapons exploded inside a
tunnel, killing 12 rebels
.
“More than a dozen rebels interviewed reported that their
salaries came from the Saudi government,” writes Gavlak.
If accurate, this story could completely derail the United States’
rush to attack Syria which has been founded on the
“undeniable” justification that Assad was behind the chemical
weapons attack. Dale Gavlak’s credibility is very impressive.
He has been a Middle East correspondent for the Associated
Press for two decades and has also worked for National Public
Radio (NPR) and written articles for BBC News.

The website on which the story originally appeared - Mint
Press (which is currently down as a result of huge traffic it is
attracting to the article) is a legitimate media organization
based in Minnesota. The Minnesota Post did a profile on them
last year.

Saudi Arabia’s alleged role in providing rebels, whom they
have vehemently backed at every turn, with chemical
weapons, is no surprise given the revelations earlier this week
that the Saudis threatened Russia with terror attacks at next
year’s Winter Olympics in Sochi unless they abandoned
support for the Syrian President.

“I can give you a guarantee to protect the Winter Olympics
next year. The Chechen groups that threaten the security of
the games are controlled by us,” Prince Bandar allegedly told
Vladimir Putin, the Telegraph reports.

The Obama administration is set to present its intelligence
findings today in an effort prove that Assad’s forces were
behind last week’s attack, despite American officials admitting
to the New York Times that there is no “smoking gun” that
directly links President Assad to the attack.

US intelligence officials also told the Associated Press that the
intelligence proving Assad’s culpability is “no slam dunk.”
As we reported earlier this week, intercepted intelligence
revealed that the Syrian Defense Ministry was making
“panicked” phone calls to Syria’s chemical weapons
department demanding answers in the hours after the attack,
suggesting that it was not ordered by Assad’s forces.

UPDATE: Associated Press contacted us to confirm that Dave
Gavlak is an AP correspondent, but that her story was not
published under the banner of the Associated Press. We didn’t
claim this was the case, we merely pointed to Gavlak’s
credentials to stress that she is a credible source, being not
only an AP correspondent, but also having written for PBS,
BBC and Salon.com.

SAUDI ARABIA IS THE MOST USELESS COUNTRY ON EARTH

On the prospect of a US strike, he said: “We stand by the will of the Syrian people. They know best their interests, so whatever they accept, we accept, and whatever they refuse, we refuse.”

The Arab League meeting was expected formally to blame Assad for the gas attack.

Then Saudi and the Arab league should take the lead and bomb Syria if that is the wish of the people
I wish my Boo could listen to me and leave them to sort themselves out

However, some influential Arab League members, including Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Tunisia and Algeria, have expressed opposition to foreign military intervention in Syria.

USA please stay out
