Support for Terrorists in Syria TEHRAN (FNA)- Qatari Emir's daughter, Shaikha Hind, rapped his father for supporting the Syrian armed rebels who are killing innocent citizens in mass numbers in the Muslim Arab country.

Writing on her Twitter page, Hind severely criticized her father's policies on Syria, calling Qatar's interference in Syria a "big scandal recorded in Qatar's history".

"My father supported the Syrian rebellion because he thought what was happening in Syria was decided by the Syrian people, but now we see that the situation has gone on the contrary," she wrote, and added that "a recent video showing a terrorist eating a Syrian citizen's heart reveals that this is not what was wanted, rather it is a crime against the Syrian people".

Hind also criticized the Saudi armed men who are fighting against the Syrian government and mass murdering the Syrian citizens.

"I saw a video where a Saudi fighter kills 12 Syrians allegedly to be Assad loyalist soldiers. I think such acts convert a purely public revolution to a revolution by terrorists," she added.

Earlier reports said that the US and Qatar are set to boost their support for the militants operating inside Syria, in an act of foreign interference in the internal affairs of the crisis-hit Middle Eastern country.

US President Barack Obama made the announcement at the White House following a meeting with the emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, in April.

This comes days after US Secretary of State John Kerry said that Washington would double its assistance to the militants in Syria.

The new plan by the US and Qatar is the latest instance of foreign meddling in the internal affairs of Syria.

Other regional countries have also been providing the militants in Syria with various forms of support. Qatar has been leading such efforts.

On April 22, during a meeting with Arab League Secretary General Nabil al-Araby, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called on Qatar and some other Arab countries to stop supplying weapons to the militants in Syria.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border guards being reported across the country.

The US and its western and regional allies have long sought to topple Syrian President Bashar al- Assad and his ruling system. Media reports said that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups have received significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States.

The US daily, Washington Post, reported in May that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups battling Assad's government have received significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States.

The newspaper, quoting opposition activists and US and foreign officials, reported that Obama administration officials emphasized the administration has expanded contacts with opposition military forces to provide the Persian Gulf nations with assessments of rebel credibility and command-and-control infrastructure.

Opposition activists who several months ago said the rebels were running out of ammunition said in May that the flow of weapons - most bought on the black market in neighboring countries or from elements of the Syrian military in the past - has significantly increased after a decision by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Persian Gulf states to provide millions of dollars in funding each month.
