The Pentagon has rejected allegations in support of the attack of terrorists in Idlib
The US did not support the attack of terrorists from “Jabhat EN-Nusra” in Syria. Earlier, the General staff of Russia said that the platoon of the military police were surrounded the terrorists, and the attack was “initiated by US intelligence”.
The Pentagon has called “baseless” allegations that “the U.S. government provided any support “to the al-Nusra Front (Jabhat al-Nusra”)”. This was stated by RBC representative of the Pentagon, major Adrian Rankin Galloway.
He commented on the words of the chief of the main operations Directorate of the General staff of Russia Sergey Rudskoy, who said that the advance of the terrorists of the banned terrorist group “Jabhat an-Nusra” was initiated by the US intelligence. According to the Russian General staff, the terrorist attack was needed to stop “successfully developing the offensive of the government troops to the East of der-ez-Zor”.
“The U.S. position on the “Front al-Nusra” has not changed — it is a branch of “al-Qaeda” [banned in Russia organization] and the group recognized as a foreign terrorist organization. “Frente al-Nusra” has publicly declared himself part of “al-Qaeda” — they share the goals of “al-Qaeda” and not the Syrian people,” said Rankin Galloway.
The United States has repeatedly demonstrated that they are ready to fight “al-Qaeda” at any time and in any place to protect yourself and regional partners, told RBC another Pentagon spokesman Eric Pachon. “This Syrian regime has allowed the North-Western part of Syria become a safe haven for terrorists, “al-Qaeda” that threatens the Syrian people, regional stability and U.S. security,” said Pachon.
