A defector in Aleppo talks about the explosions carried out by Air force Intelligence #Syria

A defector in Aleppo talks about the explosions carried out by Air force Intelligence #Syria
Brief English Translation:
Defector:
My name is Ali Taha Shabaan from Air Defense (military number 8754-541). I am joining the FSA because Airforce Intelligence sent us to fire at protestors in neighborhoods of Aleppo (Hanano and other areas).
(Names of officers who commanded this are mentioned)

Film Crew: Were you a witness to the Aleppo explosions ?

Defector: Yes, under the command of the 80th brigade. Airforce Intelligence informed us there was an explosion at 9AM, . A second explosion occurred 10 minutes later, and after a while shooting began. The shooting was to give us the impression that there were battles with the FSA.

A car was sent from the 80th brigade, ladden with explosives. Under the order of commanders Khalifa Hama Mustafa and Salaah Omran. (2 other names and ranks mentioned)
The explosives were dynamite sticks and pepsi bottles filled with shrapnel and gun powder (and silver nitrate). They then called Dunya and State Television to come and film the capture of terrorists who carried out the explosion.



All this talk about it being Al Qaeda is bunk. There were indications some time ago that is was the Syrian regime.
