Revelations have surfaced
about the presence of British spies in Syria as the UK government draws secret
plans for a NATO-backed no-fly zone over the country.
A British security official
has revealed that Britain’s Ministry of Defense has been drawing up secret
plots to secure a NATO-sponsored no-fly zone over Syria as intelligence agents
from MI6 and the CIA are examining the situation on the ground in the country,
reported the Daily Star.
“MI6 and the CIA are in
Syria to infiltrate,” revealed the newspaper.
The revelations come as the
Western media has launched a campaign to criticize the presence of the Arab
League observers in Syria calling on them to return so that their governments
would be able to draw up plots for military intervention based on fabricated
evidence.
However, independent
analysts have seriously questioned the West’s media hype over the usefulness of
the Arab League observers’ presence in Syria, as they assert the West is using
the Arab League as an NGO.
“[The Arab League] has been
one of the most pathetic organizations in the Arab World for a long, long time,
doing nothing on Palestine, doing nothing to prevent the war on Iraq. And, now
it’s being used as an NGO by the West,” said Tariq Ali, editor of London-based
New Left Review.
Furthermore, Ali warned
against the Western intervention in Syria saying “we need a negotiated
settlement in Syria.”
“We do not want a Western
intervention as in Libya which with each passing day the information coming out
of Libya shows the disaster,” said Ali in an interview with Russia’s English
news channel Russia Today.
The Daily Star also
reported that the Western intervention in Syria “is all going like Libya but
this will be bigger and bloodier.”
Furthermore, the British
newspaper revealed that the British government’s “highest priority” while
drawing up its secret plots would be Israel’s security saying “Syria supports
Hezbollah. That threatens Israel.”
Pointing out that Western
intervention in Syria has already started, Ali said: “I don’t know why they
[foreign nations] seem reluctant to [acknowledging armed opposition extremists
operating in Syria] because most the nations which seem reluctant to notice
that are the ones who’re supplying the weaponry.”
