Syrian Army Seizes Turkish Aid To ISIL  

Turkish Aid lorryMEP: A Turkish lorry packed with medical assistance has been seized near Aleppo by Syrian intelligence forces as it was heading toward Iraq’s Mosul for Islamic State (IS or Daesh) terrorists.

The truck, loaded with some 25 tons of medicine and hospital supplies, including a number of dialysis machines, had entered Syria from Turkey’s Bab al-Hawa international border crossing, Hussein al-Omar, a colonel in Syria’s Military Intelligence Directorate in a video released by Russia’s RT television network said on Friday.

He added that the lorry was planned to reach Mosul, Daesh’s de facto capital in Iraq, through the towns of Afrin, A’zaz, and Manbij in Aleppo province.

According to Omar, the lorry, loaded in Turkey, bore a Syrian number plate and was driven by two militants from al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front terrorist group, who had received the cargo in the Bab al-Hawa border crossing.

“Through an intelligence operation, we lured them from Afrin to Nubl, arrested them, and brought them here. All of this proves that Turkey is supporting the terrorists, especially ISIL, with meds and all supplies, even with weapons,” the Syrian official further said.
