Sarah Adams

Hi, I'm Sarah Adams, the host of Vigilance Elite's The Watch Floor, where we highlight what matters.

It became a permissive state, explain to you why it matters, and then aim to leave you feeling better informed than you were before you hit play.

Tariffs, hostile intelligence agencies, organized crime, not everything is urgent, but this show will focus on what is need to know, not just what is nice to know.

Hei, olen Sarah Adams, Vigilance Elites – The Watch Floorin järjestäjä, jossa käsittelemme, mitä on tärkeää. Se on tullut yksityiskohtaiselta. Kertoisin, miksi se on tärkeää, ja toivon, että sinua jätetään paremmin huomioida, kuin sinä olisit, ennen kuin sinä aloitit pelin. Tarahehtoja, rauhallisia tietoja, järjestettyä rauhaa. Ei kaikki ole turvallista, mutta tämä elokuva keskittyy siitä, mitä on tarpeeksi tietoa, eikä vain siitä, mitä on hyvä tietoa.

Sure. I'm going to have to go back in time just a little bit. So if we go back to November 2021, that is the time basically the planning started for the Syrian blitzkrieg. How it all came together, actually, is one of our Benghazi plotters, the one I talk about all the time, Musa bin Ali, him and Abu Muhammad al-Jalani, the current president of Syria, were running a lot of...

terror line facilitation networks in the Syria. They've been doing this for well over a decade. They run a really big terrorist camp in Libya, south of Misrata. And so they got together and basically decided, let's, you know, pull in al Qaeda and the Taliban, you know, let's do in Syria what happened in Afghanistan, right?

So it was November of 2021 when Abu Jilani came to Afghanistan and he sat down with Musa Sirajuddin Haqqani, who is the Minister of Interior of Afghanistan, and Mullah Yacoub, who is the Minister of Defense of Afghanistan, right? And they came up with this plot and planning to do the Syrian blitzkrieg. So as you can imagine, Julani didn't have enough fighters to take all of Syria by himself.

So the plan they came up with is the Taliban said, okay, we'll give you training camps in Nangarhar province, right? You can come here and safely train because at the time, Julani's camps were outside of Al-Tanf military base in Syria and they were being bombed. and they couldn't safely train there. So they moved a lot of their training to Afghanistan, but it wasn't enough.

So Al-Qaeda, and specifically Hamza bin Laden, said, hey, we'll train a certain number of fighters for you. What do you need? And Joulani said, I need 10,000 fighters. So for those couple years, Al-Qaeda then trained an additional 10,000 fighters inside of Afghanistan on top of what Joulani was sending, okay? So then they all go to Syria, and as we saw two years later...
