Scores of Kuwaitis have sneaked into Syria via Turkish borders to participate in the so-called "Jihad" against the forces of the Syrian regime

Scores of Kuwaitis have sneaked into Syria via Turkish borders to participate in the so-called "Jihad" against the forces of the Syrian regime, this is what Kuwaiti daily AlQabas reported on Sunday.

Citing sources close to the Kuwaiti armed men, the daily adds that in addition to those Kuwaitis, many Saudis, Algerians and Pakistanis are among the foreigners who are fighting with the Free Syrian Army (FSA).

According to the paper, the “volunteers” are given Syrian IDs as a precautionary measure in case they were arrested, before they were armed and sent to fight in different locations across the country.

Syrian rebel army chief, Colonel Riyadh al-Asaad, denied in comments published Monday that Kuwaitis were fighting alongside his men. "Reports indicating the presence of Arab fighters (in Syria) are totally baseless," Asaad was quoted as saying by Kuwait's Al-Watan newspaper.
 
"There are no non-Syrian members in the FSA which consists only of Syrian soldiers and officers fighting to protect the revolution," the Turkey-based commander of the Free Syrian Army said.
