According to the confessions made by terrorists, aired by the Syrian TV, Riyadh supports militant activities against the Syrian government and provides armed groups with money to cause mayhem in the country. 

Several terrorists were also killed and wounded after Syrian security troops attacked their positions in Ibleen village in the Jabal al-Zawiyah northwestern district. 

A number of terrorists were also arrested during the operation. 

According to Syria's official news agency, SANA, six members of the security forces were killed and three others wounded in the operation, during which weapons, ammunition and military uniforms were also seized. 

Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March and hundreds of people, including security troops, have been killed during the unrest. 

While the opposition accuses security forces of being behind the killings, the government blames outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups for the deadly violence, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad.
