TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Syrian opposition figure warned Washington that all its interests in the region will be attacked by battalions of suicide bombers formed by the Syrian opposition forces if it dares to attack Syria, stressing that homeland is more important to the dissidents than opposition to the government."Although, we are among the Syrian government's opposition forces, we assume our homeland's interests to be more important than any other interest and therefore, we have formed a number of battalions to conduct suicide operations and target the US interests in the Middle-East," Secretary-General of al-Shabab Party Mahir Marhaj told FNA on Saturday.
He blasted the US and its allies' warmongering policies and threats, and said, "We in al-Shabab party are highly prepared to confront any war against Syria."
Marhaj warned the White House against the consequences of war in Syria, and said even a limited western invasion of the country will turn into an open and unlimited war with unforeseen consequences when Damascus gives back its crushing response.
The White House has signaled that Obama is still open to launching a limited strike against Syria after reports alleged that Syrian President Bashar al-Assads government was responsible for a chemical gas attack that left hundreds of Syrians, including children, dead. The Syrian government has strongly rejected the accusation.
But within Syria, opposition to foreign-backed military attack on Syria has grown. This can help end the Syrian crisis in a shorter time, military analysts say.
The daily crimes committed by the foreign-backed militant groups have pushed many in the opposition to distant themselves from the dissidents and join ranks with the Damascus government.
In one of such cases, more than 8,000 Syrian people tired of terrorist attacks gathered in Ibrahim Hanano square in Idlib in January to voice their hatred for terrorists and renew their support for the Syrian government and army as government troops made major advancements in various parts of the country.
Also in January, in Homs, people in various districts, including Shaare' Al-Hazareh, Wadi Al-Dahab, Akramatel Jadidah, Hayezzahra and Armen marched in support of President Assad and the Syrian Army and asked for the exit of terrorists and armed groups from different parts of Homs.
