Kuwaiti Researcher and TV Host Abdulaziz Al-Qattan: The CIA behind ISIS, the U.S. Acts Like a Mafia

Kuwaiti researcher and TV host Abdulaziz Al-Qattan accused the CIA and the Mossad of being behind an "international conspiracy against Syria," saying that what was happening there has "nothing to do with a revolution." The U.S., he said, was acting "like a mafia," selling weapons to some Arab regimes, while "playing the political game" and financing terror groups. The statements were made in Al-Qattan's weekly show "Free Your Mind" on Al-Mayadeen TV on September 29, 2016.

 

Following are excerpts

 

 

Abdulaziz Al-Qattan: "From the days of the late president Hafez Al-Assad, and to this day, there has been a conspiracy against Syria. To this day, the Israeli Mossad and the American CIA monitor Syria. What is happening in Syria has nothing whatsoever to do with a revolution. Anyone who follows the political events realizes the extent of the international conspiracy against Syria. The target is not only Syria, but the axis of the resistance."

"The Israeli Mossad and the CIA have managed to create new instruments in the form of some extremist Islamic groups, I'm sad to say."

 

 

[...]

 

 

"Take, for example, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi. An imaginary individual - I mean, imaginary massacres. Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi exists, but he is not as strong as we've been led to believe. They wanted us to believe that there is a strong leader who heads ISIS and Al-Qaeda. This is an illusion. The truth is that the CIA hides behind Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi. The Israeli Mossad hides behind Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi."

 

 

[...]

 

 

"Whoever analyzes the situation in Syria, after five years, realizes that the United States is playing the role of the defender of the Islamic groups. It tries to conceal this by talking about moderate opposition, and so on, but the truth is that the US defends them and is the main sponsor of all the terror. We must not forget that America is, at its core, a terror state."

 

 

[...]

 

 

"America acts like a mafia. It sells weapons to some Arab regimes, and at the same time, it plays the political game, financing (the terror groups), and providing them with logistic, military, and ideological support. This is by no means the policy of a state. It is the policy of a mafia, of gangs."
