The role of Al Qaeda in the evolution of the Syrian crisis

The programming of Al Qaeda, to the globalization of Islamic jihad , has its mainstay in Syrian War . Party like popular revolt the oppression of the dictatorship of Assad , the Syrian conflict has evolved into a set of goals , which are becoming increasingly mixed. For the purposes of making Syria become a democracy, in an ideal continuation of the intentions at the start of the Arab spring , were complemented by the more radical tendencies of those confessional movements , which seek , for the country of Syria, a destiny to caliphate . This deep division between the rebel forces , which caused internal conflicts between factions that oppose the contrary in Damascus, has , for now, facilitated the defense of Assad , however, if until now this has been the predominant element , which is currently the continuous infiltration of terrorist elements , is causing the emergence of the phenomenon of Al Qaeda 's strategy , which seeks to consolidate in the area, to establish a base from which to pursue their own design . Just war in Syria shows how the most notorious terrorist movement is far from defeated, but that , on the contrary , after a period of relative weakening followed by the death of Bin Laden, is back on the scene forcefully . The phenomenon seems to be completely untied aid that came from the Saudis and the democratic opposition relies more strongly , even to curb the Islamic militias , who have their own program , which aims to get to the destabilization of the Islamic state that goes beyond the boundaries of the land in Syria. Ayman al - Zawahiri , the leader of Al Qaeda, has spoken on several occasions intention to dominate Damascus and then extend the fight to conquer even Egypt. This may also explain the action of the military to stem the growing radical Islamism in Egyptian society . Finally, within the strategic framework of the followers of Al Qaeda is a Sunni uprising in Iraq , for the dissolution of the state of Baghdad as it stands now . This scenario helps to make understand why the acceleration in American detente with Iran , which is the leading country of the Scythians , more and more enemies of the Sunnis . Washington needs allies , although unusual , to stem the advance of Al Qaeda, which is recruiting heavily among the Sunnis of different parts of the world. The two were now almost former enemies , have common goals at this time . Moreover, the phenomenon of recruitment of foreign militants contributes to worry about , like the U.S., who fear an increasing enlargement of Islamic terrorism . The estimates also speak of some 30,000 foreign fighters , including at least 1,200 Europeans, among them the Chechen contingent highly trained and with strong experience . The fact that facilitates the entry of militants from other countries is now the absolute inability to govern the Syrian border , which allows the transit in both directions of the fighters for jihad. This could encourage the dreaded spread of the conflict , which in fact has already happened with the repeated attacks perpetrated in Lebanon, who received the land of the cedars in a situation of great instability. The proximity of Israel, then is an element of alarm more, which can lead to a situation of grave danger for the region: a provocation aimed Al Qaeda could provoke the reaction of Tel Aviv dragging the Middle East into a powder , which is then that advocated by those, like Al Qaeda, wants to broaden the Syrian conflict .
