(Reporting by Faris Al Rifai; Translation by Yusra Ahmed)

(Zaman Alwasl)- Naser al-Noqqari, a Syrian opposition figure from Alawite sect was subject to abduction and attempt of assassination two weeks ago, by people he described as “an Assad's organized gang, comprises of security and intelligence sergeants but claim to be opposition and defected from Syria regime”. That incidence caused him partial memory lost because of fracture in the temporal bone and severe concussion.

Dr. Noqqari revealed on his Facebook page that people who abducted him were in direct contact with Hafiz Makhloof, and they told him that they killed Haji Mare'a in Hospital in Turkey and they can reach to anyone they want from opposition.

Noqqari detailed names of people who abducted him, among them Hussein Derki, a Kurdish Alawite from Rokn Eddin in Damascus, who confessed that he killed 10 people from opposition. Ahmad Mahmoud al-Hassan, from Safita and lives in Homs, claimed to be a former consul for Syrian regime, and introduces himself as a “connection” between rebels and Europe and has a residency in Iraqi Kurdistan and takes money from Security branch in Syria. Abo Yazan, a lieutenant in the military security and well known in Yabroud where he and Ahmad al-Hassan stayed for 6 months with rebels as they provided the regime with needed points to target by air strikes.

Dr. Noqari, provided the first names of people who tortured him during abduction among them Monther and Tha’er, Abo Yazan’s brother, and another Jordanian guy did not know his name, and all of them run away to Greece.

Noqqari has published photos of pro-Syrian regime people who abducted him and tried to kill him.

Badi’a Halaweh, an engineer, published on his Facebook a note about a friend of him who was abducted by a person called “Ahmad al-Hassan, who claims to be a diplomatic and Alawite opposition figure and resident in Paris, defected from the Syrian Regime and supports the idea of rescuing the “Alawite” from an unknown fate.

Abo Halaweh mentioned an example about al-Hassan's acts: "In the same day, when Ahmad al-Hassan became aware of an activist inside Syria trying to organize a meeting in the coastal region of Syria to find out 5 prominent Alawite figures to represent the Alawite opposition in general conference, the activist was arrested the very next day".

Abu Halaweh said that Dr. Noqari was used as a mean to abort the movement of Alawite inside Syria. Beside using him to reach to Nawaf al-Faris, the defected Syria Ambassador to Iraq. He added that Dr. Noqqari went to Geneva with Ahmad al-Hassan to arrange for the conference and came back to Istanbul.

Abo Halaweh detailed that abduction incidence saying: “in 27th of July, Dr. Noqari was handed by Ahmad al-Hassan to Abo Yazan and his intelligence cell, after torturing him, they demanded him to cease political activities and close his Facebook account, and to cooperate with them to catch many opposition figure like Nawaf al-Faris because of his relationship with him. In the same night, al-Hassan used Dr. Noqqari’s Facebook account to chat with some of his friends including me, but from his different way of writing which is different from what I used to from my friend, I suspected of something wrong was going on".

In the next day, Dr. Noqqari managed to escape and contacted his friend Abo Halaweh via his Facebook messenger, but the later did not believe the story of Dr. Noqqari, which forced him to contact another friend who contacted the Coalition and they managed to contact the specialized people to deal with the matter.

Zaman Alwasl contacted Noqqari, he confirmed that he was abducted for 7 hours in Fatih area in Turkey, and confirmed that Ahmad al-Hassan was among who detained him. Beside that he sadly confirmed that he was abducted by his friends who had dealt with him before as Alawite opposition, however when he felt danger on his life, he forward messages to 3 of his friends and provided them with suspected people’s photos and names.

Dr. Naser Noqqari was subject to assassination with a car accident in Turkey few weeks ago after announcing the date of the conference for inside-Syria Alawite opposition figures, which he kept secretly preparing for a while.
