Abdullah Al-Muhaysini runs the judicial system in Aleppo, so how is it that Kerry is defending The Army of Conquest's control on the city?

"We call upon the regime and its supporters to halt their bombardment of opposition-held areas, especially in Aleppo, and to lift their besiegement of civilians in accordance with UN Security Council Resolutions 2165, 2254 and 2258...." Secretary of State John Kerry's statement after the failure of the Geneva conference, which the the Higher Negotiation Committee (HNC) withdrew from, following the SAA's successful operations in ending the siege imposed upon the towns of Nubl and Al-Zahraa just North of Aleppo for the past three and a half years.

A source close to Syrian President Bashar Assad said to Al-Rai, "The Americans were caught napping by the quick advancements on the ground brought on by the Russian offensive, it turned the tide of the war and now the Americans are contradicting themselves, UN resolution 2254 reaffirms in point 8 the 2249 resolution (2015) that all member states should fight against ISIS and Al-Nusra and all other groups, individuals that support them, and that aforementioned ceasefire will not apply to these groups and individuals and that they ought to be eradicated"

The source elaborates, "Secretary Kerry is not only going against UN resolutions that he himself is quoting, but worse still he is defending Al-Qaeda and their affiliate groups that are run by ex-Guantanamo prisoners, so to stop the military operations around Aleppo against The Army of Conquest is not solely about helping the citizens of Nubl and Al-Zahraa. The main purpose of such a call is to prevent the SAA from eradicating Al-Qaeda et al from Aleppo and its country side, these areas are not under siege since they are linked to Idlib and the Turkish border."

The source continues, "The Army of Conquest controls Aleppo whose judicial body is administered by Abdullah Al-Muhaysini who is a Saudi national with links to Al-Qaeda, we believe, which is on the US terror list. Their army consists of Al-Nusra, Ahrar Al-Sham, Al-Aqsa brigade, The Army of Muhajirin & Ansar, they are located in, and around Aleppo with various other groups, Al-Nusra has a judicial court in Haritan and Idlib and it has control over granaries near the city of Al-Bab and cotton conclaves and the tractor factory and other sources of supply, and Kerry wants them to remain under Al-Qaeda control. As for The Army of Muhajirin & Ansar, the majority of their combatants are from Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia, North Ossetia, and Uzbekistan. There is no doubt that the US is not worried about those who are a danger to Russia, and Kerry is defending them even if they were named on the US terror list in 2014. They are calling for the establishment of the Khilafa state, they are centered in Haritan, Kafr Hamza, Ma'arrat al-atiq, and in the North of Aleppo, also around Nubl and Al-Zahraa, and Jabhat hatharat, and Jamiyat Al-Zahraa district in Aleppo."

The source goes on "Ahrar Al-Sham was founded by Sheikh Abu-Jabir who fought the Americans in Iraq, and was appointed as Amir of Aleppo after the death of Abu-Khalid the Syrian, whose is labeled as one of the most dangerous leaders in Al-Qaeda, he was also the special envoy to Al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri. Ahrar Al-Sham are key allies of Al-Qaeda in Aleppo, even if they are separated from each other as organizations, its Al-Qaeda like behavior looms large over its nature."

According to the same source Kerry is also defending "Harakat Sham al-Islam" who were founded by an ex-prisoner in Guantanamo Bay detention camp, Ibrahim bin Shakran, (Abu-Ahmad Al-Muhajir) whose a Moroccan national that was killed in April 2014, and was replaced by Mohammad Mizouz (Abu-Iz Al-Muhajir), who was captured by US military personnel on the Afghan-Pakistan border. He used to be in Guantanamo Bay detention camp, and is now fighting alongside Al-Qaeda in Syria and was named in the US terror list back in September 2014, and there are other movements that are sponsored by Turkey such as the Syrian Turkmen Brigade, Sultan Murad Brigade, Sultan Muhammad Fatih battalion, Nur Al-Din Zinki movement along with others. All these groups are cooperating with Al-Qaeda even though UN resolution states that we are supposed to work together to eradicate them, and that the ceasefire agreements does not include them.

But more dangerous is Moscow's statement that it has "strong grounds to believe that Turkey is preparing for a ground incursion into Syria". The source comments, "Russia has red lines that it will allow no one to cross, Russia is preparing a strong Syrian military unit that will serve to repel any Turkish ground incursions, Damascus has the right to defend its borders, and will not stay silent anymore to any aerial violations of Syrian sovereignty, and is preparing for any ground offensive by the Turks with aerial bombardment and ground shelling. Russia considers any plane not operating within the US-Russia coordination agreement to be a threat and will be shot down, Russia has also taken further precaution by deploying the S-400 missile system, and has brought in Su-35 that is in service for the first time, and it has further upgraded the Syrians' MiG-29's in case they are needed to repel any Turkish advancements. The Kremlin wanted to send to Turkey a message that says any incursion by you will be met by force not diplomacy".
