Free Syrian Army agent says his agents have been providing the US agency with GPS positions of its leaders and headquarters but the US has failed to act<\/h2>\n

The “spymaster” of a key moderate Syrian<\/a> rebel group has accused the CIA of failing to act on reams of detailed intelligence his network has been supplying the US on Isil<\/a> since 2013 – including GPS coordinates of its leaders and headquarters.<\/p>\n

\n

The Free Syrian Army\u2019<\/a>s spy chief insisted proper use of the intelligence his agents provided from within Isil\u2019s ranks, and often at grave risk to their life, could have critically damaged the jihadist group on several occasions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Speaking to Le Monde in Turkey, \u201cM\u201d, as the French newspaper dubbed the man for security reasons, said: \u201cFrom the moment Daesh (the Arab acronym for Isil) had 20 members to when it had 20,000, we have shown everything to the Americans. When we asked them what they did with this information, they always gave evasive answers, saying it was up to their decision-makers\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Free Syrian Army, or FSA, was founded by a group of defected Syrian Armed Forces officers and soldiers in July 2011, and received backing from Britain and the US for its moderate line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Le Monde was shown photographs of a training camp in the northern province of Latakia frequented by foreign Isil fighters. \u201cNaturally I transmitted this to my Western contacts with the GPS coordinates but had not response,\u201d he is cited as saying. \u201cAgents of mine also managed to get hold of phone numbers of Isil officials, serial numbers of satellite equipment and IP addresses. But once again, zero response.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2014, FSA fighters under the banner Hazzm Movement were supplied anti-tank missiles in a covert CIA programme and received US military training in Qatar on their use.<\/p>\n

In the summer of 2014, while Isil besieged Mossul in Iraq, \u201cM\u201d helped devise a secret plan presented to the Americans to rout Isil from northern Syria on the Azaz-Alep line. The plan was detailed street by street, hour by hour, and included the precise itinerary of fighters and their refuelling points. \u201cIn every village held by Daesh, knew the number of armed men, where their offices and hideouts were. We had located snipers and mines, we knew where the local emir slept, the colour of his car and even the brand. From a tactical and strategic point of view, we were ready,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

However, the Americans failed to give the green light, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were reluctant to provide us satellite images. They said their planes couldn\u2019t help once the fighting with Isil started. All they offered us was to get rid of a few obstacles before the start of the offensive,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He then provided the US with details of the Isil command structure in Raqqa, from the emir to those in charge of checkpoints and pages of GPS coordinates. \u201cThat was a year and a half ago and Raqqa is still the capital of Daesh,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
