Syrian MP Blames Assassination of Grand Mufti's Son on Zionist Regime

TEHRAN (FNA)- A member of the Syrian parliament took enemies of Syria responsible for the recent assassination of the son of Syria's grand mufti, saying that terrorist attacks in his Arab country serve the interests of the Zionist regime of Israel.
Saria Hassoun, the son of Syria's Grand Mufti Sheikh Ahmad Badreddin Hassoun, was shot near Ibla University on Idleb-Aleppo highway.

He died of his wounds at Idleb National Hospital hours after being shot in an ambush by armed terrorist groups.

The Grand mufti has backed up Bashar Assad's government during the last 7 months since unrests erupted in the country and blamed aliens for the recent unrests in Syria.

"These armed terrorist groups that conduct terrorist attacks are affiliates to foreign countries, including the Zionist regime (of Israel)," Zahir al-Qanoum told FNA on Tuesday.

"Aliens are seeking to distance Syria from the resistance front against compromise (with Israel) and force Damascus to leave resistance. For that end, they identify certain people inside Syria and fund and arm them to create insecurity in the country," he stated.

"All these moves serve the interests of the Zionists," the Syrian legislator reiterated.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border guards being reported across the country.

Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have been killed, when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes.

The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad.

Syrian state television has broadcast reports showing seized weapons caches and confessions by terrorist elements describing how they obtained arms from foreign sources.

In confessions broadcast on the Syrian TV earlier this month, a captured terrorist revealed the tactics used by armed terrorist groups to stir tension in Syria and the role played by the foreign elements in Syrian unrests.

The terrorist, Ammar Ziyad al-Najjar, confessed that he received foreign aid and instructions from contacts in Saudi Arabia and Jordan to deface Damascus.
