At the Washington Times<\/a>, Bill Gertz reports that more than 6000 jihadists have poured into Syria to get their training from al-Qaeda-linked groups like the al-Nusra Front at camps that the anti-Assad rebels have erected around the country;<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Syrian opposition is benefiting from a steady flow of foreign fighters who seem to be joining a variety of Islamist-oriented brigades or, on a smaller scale, starting up nationality-based units,\u201d said one U.S. official familiar with internal reports on the region.<\/p>\n

Bruce Riedel, a former CIA official and former staff member of the White House National Security Council, added: \u201cSyria is the new epicenter for the global jihad with would be \u2018martyrs\u2019 arriving from across the Islamic world to fight Assad. They are getting experience in the terror arts they will bring home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Word of the growing foreign terrorist presence comes as a gruesome video surfaced over the past weekend showing Syrian rebels beheading three Christians, including a Catholic priest, in a public execution widely circulated on the Internet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But, wait, I was told that the entire region would settle down once the US troops left Iraq. That the only reason al Qaeda was in the region was because of the presence of US forces. Now it seems that these creatures just flock to anywhere they can have the opportunity to kill people, or get killed themselves. I guess Assad should thank us for wiping a few thousand of them off the face of the Earth before they had a chance to oppose him.<\/p>\n

But, yeah, we should certainly send them more weapons. I mean, I like the idea of them killing scads of each other, but it’s not like the Army I knew where at the end of operations we all line up outside the arms room and turn in our weapons. Nope, these guys take them home with them. That’s why there some unaccounted for shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles somewhere in Africa left over from the Libya thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
