Canada has much to explain about ISIS links

A Syrian citizen who is allegedly a Canadian spy has actively helped three teenage British girls pass into Syria to join the terrorist forces of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS).The Syrian has been caught in Turkey and has confessed to actually taking the girls across the border and handing them over to ISIS. He also admitted that he is on the payroll of Canadian intelligence.

The Turkish government announced it had caught a spy who had helped the three girls cross into Syria but did not mention any country of origin. Daily Sabah received information from authoritative sources that the man caught was a Syrian citizen working for Canadian intelligence.

Canada is playing dumb and only says that the man is not a Canadian citizen. Well, nobody is saying that the man is a Canadian citizen, but they do say he is on Canada's payroll as a spy. Canada has much to explain both to Turkey and to the British, who have been pestering Turkey over the plight of the girls who traveled to Turkey and then slipped into Styria to join ISIS.

Turkey has come under fire from its Western allies for allegedly turning a blind eye as citizens of Western countries travel here and then cross into Syria to join the terrorists. Turkey has even been accused of cooperating with ISIS. Yet we see a NATO ally knee deep in ISIS. Someone has to explain this to the Turkish government and the people of Turkey.

This Syrian may well be a double agent. He may well be a man working for the regime of President Bashar Assad and in the same time serving the Canadians.

But the fact that such a Canadian spy exists and has close relations with ISIS so much so that he can take teenage British girls to ISIS is something that has to be studied very carefully. Was Canada using this man to learn more about ISIS and how it works and about the foreign nationals that have been recruited by the terrorist organization? He may we monitoring the actions of other Canadian citizens that have been recruited by ISIS. Is all this an act by Canada to strengthen its own security regarding ISIS? Or is Canada in contact with ISIS through this man? Then, of course, we can draw the conclusion that Canada may be one of the secret hands behind ISIS, which we doubt.

What has this man done until now for Canada and for ISIS? Has he been involved in the shocking executions ISIS has carried out? Has he been involved in any kind of ISIS activity? How is he receiving his orders?

The questions are justified and they have to be answered in a transparent and sincere manner.

When Turkish intelligence establishes dialogue with ISIS, in order to rescue its citizens held hostage by the militant group, the West objects. Yet, we see that the Canadians and God knows who else feels justified to meet with ISIS.

There are all kinds of speculations on who is behind this ISIS menace. Yet, what is clear is that ISIS has been a scapegoat not only for the Assad regime but also for the central government of Iraq dominated by Shiites. Israel also feels very happy with the activities of ISIS as it pacifies Sunni Arabs in Syria and Iraq. Let us hope Canada does not come up as one of the active supporters of ISIS.
