Report: Turkey Rejects Taking in al-Talli, Gulf State Voices Readiness

W300

Turkey has rejected the possibility of offering refuge to Abu Malek al-Talli, the embattled leader of al-Nusra Front for the Lebanese-Syrian border region, al-Jadeed TV said on Sunday.

Al-Talli and his group have become besieged by Hizbullah and the Syrian army after losing around 70% of territory in the outskirts of the Lebanese town of Arsal during three days of a major offensive. According to Hizbullah's media outlets, al-Nusra has also lost all of its positions in the outskirts of the neighboring Syrian town of Flita.

Al-Jadeed also reported that “a Gulf country has expressed willingness to help” in the issue of al-Talli's withdrawal from the border region.

Although the TV network did not name the Gulf state, both Turkey and Qatar are suspected of having good ties with al-Qaida's ex-Syria affiliate al-Nusra, which is still considered a terrorist group by the United Nations and the international community.
