إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Several factions linked to the Free Syrian Army are manufacturing Captagon pills and smuggling it through Lebanon en route to foreign countries, al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Friday.
The daily said that Islamist groups mainly destroy the seized drugs and close factories that manufacture any in their area of control. However some FSA factions became the key manufacturers of Captagon.
The daily said that the town of Fleita in the Syrian al-Qalamoun region became renowned for manufacturing Captagon and became a key distributor for the drug.
Several Captagon shipments seized in Lebanon were exported from Fleita.
Security information revealed that Abdul Latif Ammoun, who hails from the eastern border town of Arsal became a main manufacturer of Captagon in the village's outskirts.
Ammoun reportedly smuggles the drug from Arsal to foreign countries through Lebanon.

Captagon, a tool even more dangerous than the AK47 and the barrel bombs used in the Syrian civil war and the World Syrian War. Couple that with radical Islamic indoctrination and the answers to that monstrosity in Syria can be explained, well, partially if not wholly.

Captagon makes IS and Al Nusra killers. It also makes other types of killers, all numb to the reality of this war.
