The Kingdom's hosting of the regional conference to confront the armed terrorist groups in the region in Jeddah last September formed the nucleus of this international coalition against the terrorist organization ISIS. The contribution of the Kingdom has not been confined to participation in military operations against the group, but also has extended to include in one hand the provision of humanitarian assistance to the brotherly Iraqi people and in the other coordination with the international community to dry up the financing sources of terrorist groups and expose the criminal nature of these groups, which are contrary to the tolerant teachings of Islam. We are all aware that countering terrorism will take a long time, and require a continuing effort. Emanating from It is out of the Kingdom's keenness on the continuation of the cohesion of this coalition and the success of its efforts, we believe that these efforts require the presence of combat troops on the ground. Achieving this end in Syria, there is an urgent need to strengthen the forces of moderation represented in the Syrian free army and all other moderate opposition forces, and to seek their annexation with the regular forces within the framework of transitional ruling authority set forth in Geneva Declaration 1, except for those who committed war crimes against humanity and stained their hands with the blood of innocent Syrians. --More 14:41 LOCAL TIME 11:41 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
