The UK covertly deployed Special Forces in Libya, "Israel" is turning a blind eye to al-Nusra, and Turkey wants extremists to prevail in the Middle East and go to Europe, are the shocking insights King Abdullah of Jordan confidentially shared with US lawmakers.

(AhlulBayt News Agency) - The Jordanian King gave this frank regional assessment to congressional leaders, including John McCain and Paul Ryan, in a closed-door meeting during his visit to the US back in January.



In the most substantive revelation, the royal said that Jordanian Special Forces operating in Libya had been embedded with a more sizeable British Special Air Service [SAS] contingent to help them overcome cultural barriers.



Relatively, the security intelligence agency Stratfor had already alleged the UK's involvement earlier this month.



However, British PM David Cameron refused to provide any information on this even to closed parliamentary committees, saying earlier this week that the SAS is already "subject to international law as everyone else is in our country."



Other statements made by King Abdullah indicated deep rifts between the US and Saudi-headed coalitions tasked with eliminating Daesh [the Arabic acronym for the terrorist "ISIS" group] and restoring the rule of law to the region.



Abdullah further noted that Turkish President Tayyip Recep Erdogan "believes in a radical solution to the problems in the region." He went on to say that "that terrorists are going to Europe is part of Turkish policy, and Turkey keeps getting a slap on the hand, but they get off the hook."



Meanwhile, "Israel" is accused of "looking the other way" when it comes to al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra. There have previously been accusations in the media that "Israel" was even giving medical treatment to al-Nusra fighters before sending them back out on the battlefield, and that a direct communication link had been established between the "Israeli" army and the terrorist group.
