(Zaman al-Wasl) On Friday evening, in a unique occurrence, a military security patrol caught a truck in Sahl al-Ghab filled with ammunition and machine guns on its way to the Syrian resistance factions which the regime describes as ‘terrorist’.
Beit Yashut’s Facebook page conveyed the details of the news where a Honda truck was stopped close to al-Qarnah in Jableh countryside before its arrival to the terrorists in Sahl al-Ghab. (Regime and allies dub rebels as terrorists).
The page confirmed that the truck was filled with mid-range machine guns and ammunition for RPG rocket launchers. The page indicated that the truck driver was arrested, and it emerged that he works as a driver for one of the military security officers in Latakia while his two companions escaped without their identities being revealed.
From the comments which followed the news, it was confirmed that the unknown companions who escaped are security guards in the villa of a high ranking officer in the 4th Unit based in the village of Dhaher Baraket.
Majed Makhlouf in his comments on the news indicated, “everyone knows that officers are selling weapons to the terrorists in Sahl al-Ghab, but no actors are will able to do anything about it.”
Many commentators voiced their anger towards the officers selling weapons to the “terrorists” and accused them of treachery, selling the nation for money, and demanded their arrest and trial.
Some voiced their doubt that it would be impossible to discover the truth of what happened between the regime officers and their intermediaries while Naser Baraket proposed that the driver would be released and the patrol that arrested him would be punished.
The news indicated that the patrol which stopped the car is subordinate to the military security branch and it is one of the branch’s high ranking officers who is participating in the smuggling.
