Syria conflict
Lt Col Hussein al-Harmoush was the most senior
defector from the Syrian Arab Army early in the Syria conflict. He fled to
Turkey in June 2011 where he proceeded to set up a so-called Free Officers
Movement to overthrow the Syrian government. His ambitions were short-lived. He
disappeared from Hatay Altınözü camp on 29 August together with Mustafa
Kassoum, a gym instructor who had been passing himself off as an Army Major.
Two weeks later Harmoush was on Syrian TV, confessing to his crimes and to Turkey’s complicity.
