Press TV 6 Nov 2013
In an interview with Press TV on Tuesday, Lawrence Freeman, with the Executive Intelligence Review, described the Al Saud regime’s all-out support for the Takfiri groups operating in Syria as the “main obstacle” to a political solution to the turmoil gripping the Arab state.
“The Saudis…are hell bent on preventing a solution knowing full well that if we don’t find a solution…this will escalate to greater war and chaos in the region,” said Freeman, adding, “they’re an enemy of mankind for stalling, stopping and trying to sabotage peaceful solutions to the Syrian crisis.”
The United States has allowed Riyadh to continue fueling the “outside intervention” in Syria by funding and arming the extremists operating against the government of President Bashar al-Assad, the analyst noted.
