The adventures of a Libyan
weapons dealer in Syria

Not just al-Qaida, but Manchester property developers. Is there no end to the evil that is the Syrian revolution?


'After fleeing Libya in his 20s, Haroun established himself as a property developer in Manchester. After about two decades in the British city, he returned to Libya in 2011 to fight in the revolution, where he became a prominent rebel commander.

He says he sends aid and weapons to help Syrians achieve the freedom he fought for during the Libyan revolution.
He and his associate travelled with their first successful delivery in August over the Syrian border to ensure it reached its destination. They were appalled by the horrors witnessed there.
"Anyone who saw what I did in Syria would do the same thing," said the associate.
"The water is so polluted you wouldn't even wash your hands with it. People have no clothes. I saw three births with no doctors present. People are dying without medication." '
