New evidence ties Jaysh-al-Islam -- the Saudi-funded "rebel" death squad involved in the staged chemical attack in Douma -- to the abduction and disappearance of Syrian lawyer and activist Razan Zaitouneh. dw.com/en/exclusive-h…
Two months her Dec. 2013 abduction, "a member of Jaish al-Islam accessed his social media accounts via a computer given to Zaitouneh and Khalil by a US State Department-funded program." The US gov't then traced the computer to a JAI prison in Douma. 
The fact that Zaitouneh had a US gov't-supplied computer suggests that they were working together in some capacity. In any event, why didn't the US make this publicly known? Were they covering up for Jaysh-al-Islam, one of the key "rebel" groups in the Dirty War?
The US has certainly covered for JAI in the Douma deception of April 2018. Despite ample evidence that a chemical attack was staged by JAI and White Helmets there, the US blamed Syria and has tried to bury the OPCW investigation that undermined the official narrative.
And the US apparently has no issue with this:
"Today, Jaish al-Islam continues to operate in Syria, where it has integrated into the SNA, a loose collective of hard-line rebel groups supported by NATO member Turkey. Its leaders freely cross into Turkey without fear of redress."

Remember this story when someone claims that attempts to expose the OPCW cover-up amounts to war crimes denial. Those making that charge are covering up for death squad Jaysh-al-Islam.
US does so even though it knows that JAI killed one of its partners, a human rights lawyer.

UK gov't is complicit too. Months after the US traced Zaitouneh's computer to Jaysh-al-Islam & they were publicly identified as likely kidnappners, a UK gov't document described JAI as part of the "moderate armed opposition." theguardian.com/world/2016/may…
Correction to above: *may have killed. Not confirmed that Zaitouneh has been killed. What's confirmed is that she was abducted, imprisoned, and abused by JAI -- all during the period when the US was fighting on its side in Syria.
