DAMASCUS, May 20 (NNN-SANA) – With the help of Turkey, as many as 13,000 rebels from Syria, have so far reached Libya, to fight against the east-based army, led by Khalifa Haftar, a war monitor reported, on Tuesday.
A total of 300 of the rebels have been killed in battles in Libya, after being moved from Syria to Libya, through the Turkish territory, under the supervision of Turkey, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The Turkey-backed rebels opened four centres in the northern Syrian city of Afrin, to recruit fighters to be sent to Libya.
Turkey offers a monthly salary of 2,000 U.S. dollars, for those who agree to go to Libya, on contracts between three and six months, said the observatory.– NNN-SANA
