Britain and Qatar have secretly sent their troops to aid Syrian rebel forces in fighting the government, according to a report by debkafile news website, an Israeli site with reputed intelligence community connections.
*The troops based at the city of Homs are not engaged in direct combat with Syrian forces, the site reports, citing its intelligence sources. They are rather acting as tactical advisers and communication officers. They also supply ammunition, mostly from Turkey.
Four centers of operation have been established in the city, the report says. Homs itself is currently witnessing heavy fighting between the army and the armed rebels.
The site says the secret operation paves the way for a future undercover incursion into Syrian territory by Turkish forces.
The presence of British and Qatari troops in Homs was on top of the agenda of Tuesday’s talks between Assad’s top officials with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and the head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service Mikhail Fradkov, according to the report.
The visit gave a chance for intelligence of the two countries to share their data on the situation in Homs. No official confirmation of such dealings was voiced after the visit, however.
Qatar makes little secret of supporting opposition in Syria with money, arms and political backing. Qatar’s leader Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani also said in mid-January it he is ready to send troops to Syria to stop the violence there. Britain so far insisted it is not planning any military action against the Assad regime.
The report resembles the way last year’s war in Libya unfolded. The UN Security Council resolution 1973 gave the pretext to NATO to launch a bombing campaign against Muammar Gaddafi’s troops, but forbade any ground troops from intervening.
However Qatar later confirmed that it did send its units to assist the Libya rebels. Britain and France sent their officers to train the anti-Gaddafi forces. There were also unconfirmed reports that Western special forces units were operating in the country, directing air strikes and engaging with the loyalists in combat.
The negative Libyan example was among the biggest concerns cited by Russia and China when they blocked a UN Security Council resolution on Syria last Saturday. Sponsors of the document lashed out at Moscow and Beijing, accusing them of siding with Assad in the bloody crackdown on the opposition.
