In confe Lebanese Confesses: We Smuggle Weapons into Syria from Wadi Khaled

ssions broadcasted by the Syrian TV Thursday, Moussa said "the smuggled weapons included machine guns, RPG launchers and ammunition in addition to drugs."

Moussa said that he, together with Muhammad al-Ridani, used to work as smugglers of TV sets across the Syrian-Lebanese borders.

''We were caught afterwards and put under arrest at the Central Prison until 2005 when we were sent to Lebanon...Next, day I returned illegally to Syria and resumed my work in smuggling as a resident in Talkalakh...We used to smuggle heating fuel, tobacco, cement and hardware until March 2011 when smuggling was hit by events.''

He added that he was involved in smuggling weapons from Wadi Khaled, adding ''we smuggled automatic rifles, RPG launchers, ammunition, bullets and drugs, and I was responsible for enwrapping the smuggled stuff while the rest of the group carried them across the borders.''

Moussa added that someone called Mahmoud Khalaf was responsible for distributing the weapons inside Syria through a group coming from Talkalakh.

"I was arrested in the month of December, during which I managed to smuggle two shipments,'' says Moussa.

Meanwhile, the Syrian-Lebanese sub-committee for the two Syrian Governorates of Homs and Tartous and the Lebanese Northern governorate held a meeting Thursday during which the Syrian side handed to the Lebanese documented violations, including dates, places and names, of weapons smuggling operations from Lebanon into Syria.

Both sides agreed to create a joint security committee on both sides of the Syrian-Lebanese borders to put an end to the increasing smuggling of weapons and drugs from north Lebanon into Syria.

Smugglers of weapons and drugs from the Lebanese side have also been accustomed to fire at the Syrians from the Lebanese side.
