Syria terrorist: Mazen Ali Hamoush Mazen Ali Hamoush a member of the so-called "Storm of North Brigade ", said that the Lebanese MP of al-Mustaqbal bloc Oqab Sakr has ordered his militant group to kidnap the Lebanese pilgrims coming from Turkey to Aleppo as they were passing in the area of Aazaz, SANA news agency reported.

“Saqr is involved in the coordination of funding and arming militants in Syria as well, he added.

Hamoush also confessed to his involvement in murder and kidnapping actions with terrorists from Tunisia, Libya, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Egypt and other countries.

In confessions aired on Syrian state television, Hamoush said that he first participated in the siege on the military security building in Aazaz for 18 days with a number of armed groups from the town and its countryside, including the group of Ammar Dadikhi called "Storm of North Brigade", and the group of Ammar Ahmad Obaid, with the participation of armed groups from Tunisia and Libya.

"I was a member of the Dadikhi’s group who used to abduct civilians in Aazaz in order to spread division amongst the people. We established a private jail in the mountain area near the border with Turkey to put the kidnapped including one of my relatives. Dadikhi used to kill some of the hostages in order to terrorize people," Hamoush added.

"The armed groups in the area were used to meet with Saqr in the Bab al-Salama camps in order to coordinate access to weapons, ammunition and money. Sometimes operations were managed through telephone communications,” the terrorist went on to say.

“Saqr ordered us to hijack a bus carrying Lebanese passengers, informing us that it will cross the Turkish border to Aleppo via Aazaz, where we kidnapped them. Later we freed the women and kept the men. Dadikhi put them first in his family home and transferred them later to al-Koroom border area with Turkey, about 7 kilometers north of Aazaz, and we lost contact with them," he further elaborated.

Hamoush noted that Dadikhi has been killed in Turkey by a gunshot in the vicinity of Aleppo Ming Airport.

“Later, we heard that the Turkish intelligence has killed him in order to hide any information about the whereabouts of the kidnapped Lebanese in Aazaz.”

"After Dadikhi’s death, some disputes emerged and leadership of the "Storm of North Brigade” was handled to "Samir Amuri, Dadikhi’s assistant, and Samao Salo, a chemistry teacher. Then the relations soared between us as another person, named Mohammad Alshash, recruited within the group, designed to form a new brigade dubbed "Martyr Ammar Brigade," Hamoush indicated.

“We were asked to support the militants located in al-Qusayr in Homs countryside. So we headed a group to the East Bowayda with five members. Another armed group of Tawhid Brigade went to the place,” he said.

“When we arrived at al-Qusayr, four militants of my group were killed at once as a lot others of militants, primarily of Tawhid Brigade, were also killed. Then I fled away from the area,” he went on to say.

“Militants’ morale began to collapse since the Syrian army took over the area of Sheikh Saeed. It was deteriorated as the army controlled al-Qusayr in Homs and Abed Rabbo town near Aleppo, because it led to the cut of supply line coming from Aleppo countryside to the city,” Hamoush noted.

“Gunmen from Afghanistan, Chechnya, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and other countries were accompanying us. I also had militants with me from within the group: Ibrahim Qarajah from the ‘Free of Sham’, Mohammad Amuri from the ‘Storm of North’ and Hadi Samao Salo. Two of them were killed in the vicinity of Ming Airport."

He pointed out that every person who enters Turkey wounded and dies there, his organs are stolen in order to be sold and purchase weapons of their price.
