United Arab Emirates has sent many spy agents to Syria to train YPG militia over the past few years, Anadolu Agency has learned from multiple sources.
After holding secret talks with the terrorists in 2017, the UAE sent intelligence officers in the area the following year.
They train YPG militants in espionage, counter-espionage, sabotage, assassination acts, signal intelligence, information security and communication networks.
These trainings were held in the provinces of Qamishli, Hasaka and Deir ez-Zor in northwestern Syria.
The Emirati officers also established a secret direct hotline with the terrorists.
The codenames of these agents are available with Anadolu Agency.
The agent code-named Abdullatif Abdulkadir Hamrush stayed in terror camps in Qamishli for a year giving trainings on information security and signal intelligence.
Mohammed Abdulkadir al-Shehhi, another UAE agent, carried out killings on behalf of the terrorists in Syria.
Ahmed Rashid Muhammed also provided trainings to the organization on cryptology and communication networks.
Turkey considers the Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units, or YPG, terrorists for their links to a decades-long Kurdish insurgency inside Turkey that has killed tens of thousands. The same fighters were the United States' partners on the ground in fighting the Islamic State group.
