Syrian refugee tripped by Hungarian journalist was member of radical al-Nusra Front

LONDON—The Syrian refugee who was tripped by a Hungarian camerawoman earlier this month was a member of the radical al-Nusra Front and fought the Kurds on many fronts in Syria, the Democratic Union Party (PYD) said Saturday.

The video footage of Osama Abdul Mohsen being kicked by a camerawoman on the Hungary-Serbia border went viral and prompted uproar around the world.

Abdul Mohsen later landed in Spain where he was offered a job and welcomed by Real Madrid football club including famous footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, the Kurdish group PYD alleged in its official media that Abdul Mohsen had fought alongside the Nusra Front before leaving Syria with his family in the spring of 2015.

Furthermore, the PYD claimed that Abdul Mohsen was involved in the violent suppression of Kurdish riots in the city of Qamishlo in 2004 following a football match were more than 50 Kurds were killed by the Syrian security forces.

Abdul Mohsen was the coach of al-Fatwa club in Deir Ez Zor from 2004-2010.

The PYD said that he was an instigator behind the violence after the football match between al-Fatwa and Qamishlo’s Jihad club.

The PYD published a picture of Abdul Mohsen from his Facebook page before closing it down earlier this year where he identifies himself as a member of the Nusra Front, adding that he had fought the Kurds near Amudeh, Serekaniye and Afrin.

You should stop promoting this sort of thing. Why it is even allowed on this site I don't know. Disgraceful

Reading comprehension 101.

Note use of "claimed" and "alleged", "PYD said.." etc.

Trip trap trip.

The thing is, the incident behind this involved a man and his son being physically assaulted. Now we effectively have the suggestion that the assault was justified because of the victims alleged politics. Never mind that the perpetrator didn't know this when they committed the assault. If you can find a reason to justify something it means you don't need to defend your own values and behaviour.

Disgusting.

So Lib - you believe physical assault is justified if you feel that the victim deserves it? Good to know. One can only wonder what your reaction would be if someone assaulted you under a similar premise.

In this case that's not a disclaimer, it's a crude code for "that's all I need to know"

The source for those claims is shaky to say the least.

The United States has not identified al-Nusra as a group targeted in its strikes in Syria.

But it is a rebel group that the U.S. has blacklisted as a foreign terror organization linked to al Qaeda in Iraq.

Al-Nusra "has sought to portray itself as part of the legitimate Syrian opposition while it is, in fact, an attempt by AQI to hijack the struggles of the Syrian people for its own malign purposes," the State Department said.

You really are prejudiced aren't you. The school boy didn't make a bomb, yet you seem quite happy to add it to your narrative as if he did.

Now you're trying to justify the assault of a man and his son through unrelated claims about his background.

Come on... just one comment about the moral issues here. I dare you ?

A man with membership to a known terrorist organization gets hired by a pro sports team in spain . No need to worry about that is there. .Feel free to travel around the world ... Perhaps he can get a few of his friends to assist him with his new soccer deal .

Back up. The man and his son was assaulted by a Hungarian journalist. What do you think about that?

Does his alleged background make a difference to whether or not it is OK for him to be assaulted?

PS. Why do you instantly believe everything you read?
