American Herald Tribune- The Bulgarian newspaper Trud published a report on April 21, 2017 about an investigation into the supply of Bulgarian weapons to the terrorists in Syria, shipped through Saudi Arabia.


In early April,ship so called Marianne Danica arrived the biggest port of Saudi Arabia in Jeddah, which hosts the kingdoms royal navy forces as well as a group of American troops, under the flag of Denmark, after itleft the port ofBurgason March 28th, loaded with tons of weapons.

After 8 hours dangerous cargo is unloaded at the port of Jeddah andthe shipsails back to Burgas. The weapons werenot intended for Saudi Arabia, asSaudiarmy areonly equipped almost exclusively with US and UKweaponry.

In December last year Truds team found Bulgarian weapons manufactured at the arms factory VMZ-Sopot, in 9 warehouses for terrorists Al-Nusra Front ineastern Aleppo, Syria. There weretwo million shells and rockets CITY 4000 from Bulgaria all of which hadfallen into the hands of the terrorists inboxes with inscriptions in Bulgarian language designating Bulgaria as the country of origin and sender.

VMZ-Sopot hasnt given any comment and the Embassy of Saudi Arabia said it will not answer the question of where Saudi Arabia sent the Bulgarian arms. Butone of the commanders in The Free Syrian Army, Malik al-Kurdi, said that Saudi Arabia, together with security services of 15 other countries, were supplying terroristsin Syria with weapons under the pretext of helping the moderate opposition.Along with its offshoot, al-Nusra, al Qaeda is part of the so-called moderate rebels engaged in Syria in something of a repeat of the US-backed operation in Afghanistan in the 1980s.

Saudi Arabia's role in channeling weapons to terrorists in syria was busted eariler in 2013 after the alleged gas attack in Khan al-Assel village west of Aleppo. Back then,Yahya Ababneh, a reporter on the ground in East Ghouta, collected the testimonies of witnesses who said certain rebels received chemical weapons via the Saudi intelligence chief, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, and were responsible for carrying out the gas attack. The Mint Press News report, which was contributed to by Dale Gavlak, quotes a female insurgent fighter who makes the link to Saudi Arabia clear.
