More on the dodgy 'defector'
Brown Moses, a regular in our discussion threads, has been looking more closely at the case of the dodgy defector (see earlier post).
It seems that Yasser Fawzi Abd, allegedly a former rebel who now supports the Assad regime, has changed his story since first coming into the limelight in March.
During a TV appearance then, he "confessed to assassinating businessmen Mahmoud Ramadan and Mahmoud al-Sourani, in addition to committing acts of killings, robbery and sabotage in Aleppo Province and its countryside" – according to a report by the government news agency.
Brown Moses comments in a post on his blog:
This seems to rather contradict many of the claims made in the press conference [this week], particularly al-Abd's claims at 2:00 in the video of his speech to the conference where he says that he voluntarily handed in his weapons after the calls of the Minister of National Dialogue. You'd also imagine a murdering, Salafi terrorist would at best still be in prison (if not executed), not attending press conferences and receiving rounds of applause.
