Syria Takfiris selling oil to Turkey: Analyst
Foreign-backed Takfiri militants operating in Syria are selling oil to Turkey to finance their attacks against the Syrian government, an analyst tells Press TV.
“They (the militants) are getting a lot of revenues from oil. They are selling it to the Turks; they sell to anybody that buys the oil that belongs to the Syrian people to finance their operations,” Franklin Lamb told Press TV in an interview.
The analyst said Takfiris in Syria are no longer “as controllable as before.”
“It (Takfiri movement) has become an enormous, a powerful magnet, drawing people, young men typically, from everywhere, from Tunisia to Yemen, to Egypt, to Libya pouring into Syria,” said Lamb.
He said militants from other countries are lured into Syria in the hope of a “romantic Don Quixote de la Mancha adventure” while the outcome is nothing but “death and destruction.”

Lamb said the Takfiris pose a threat to both Muslims and non-Muslims under the name of Islam, adding, “We see the imposition, as you know better than I do, of a so-called brand of Islam that is totally foreign to Islam.”
The commentator said the Takfiris are spreading “unlimited barbarism” in Syria.
A newly-released video footage showed al-Qaeda-affiliated militants executing a teenager for alleged robbery in eastern Syria.
The video, recently surfaced on the Internet, shows militants belonging to the terrorist Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) shooting dead a teenage boy in public in the eastern Syrian city of Deir ez-Zor.
