Article à classer avec les nombreux autres qui sont soudainement tombés depuis quelques semaines et qui révèlent une partie de l’implication militaire jusque là cachée, ou au moins tue, des Occidentaux dans la guerre en Syrie. Comme souvent ces « révélations » proviennent de sources anti-Assad : officiels anonymes de gouvernement ou du renseignement de pays de l’OTAN, du CCG, ou d’"officiel" de l’opposition syrienne (entendre le CNS) comme c’est le cas ici.
Ainsi, selon un article du Sunday Times (réservé aux abonnés) les services anglais pourvoient les rebelles syriens en renseignement (notamment sur les mouvements de troupes) obtenu à partir de leur base de Chypre :

The Sunday Times weekly said the disclosure by the official was the first indication that British intelligence was playing a covert role in the anti-regime revolt which first erupted in March 2011.
The newspaper quoted the official as saying British authorities “know about and approve 100%” intelligence from their Cyprus military bases being passed through Turkey to the rebel troops of the Free Syrian Army (FSA).
“British intelligence is observing things closely from Cyprus. It’s very useful because they find out a great deal,” the official told the newspaper. “The British are giving the information to the Turks and the Americans and we are getting it from the Turks.”
Le même type de « révélations » ont eu lieu dans la presse allemande (Bild am Sonntag) sur le BND et son aide à la rébellion armée syrienne :

German newspaper Bild also revealed on Sunday that Germany is much more active in Syria than was previously believed. German spies, stationed on ships off the Syrian coast, are transmitting intelligence to the FSA to aid in their campaign against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, Bild reported.
Agents from Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service (BND) are equipped with high-tech spy technology, allowing them to observe troop movements as far inland as 600 kilometers (400 miles). The spies pass their findings onto US and British officers, who then pass the intelligence along to the FSA, Bild said.
The newspaper also claims that BND agents are currently operating at a NATO base in Adana, Turkey, where they eavesdrop on phone calls and radio traffic within Syria.
