[quote:DoorBert:MV8yMDEwNTYzXzMzNzgxOTg1X0E2MUFCQUIz] Report: Iran withdraws covert unit from Syria http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4289280,00.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter [/quote]
Original Message
'The Sunday Times' reports Iran has withdrawn 275 members of elite brigade from Syria in face of domestic economic crisis and bitter criticism about the cost of Iranian support for Assad.
The members belong to a brigade known as Unit 400, which fought alongside Syrian President Bashar Assad against Sunni rebels, the report quoted a western intelligence officer as saying.
According to The Times, the unit flew out of Syria last week.
The report added that the information was confirmed by a relative of a Unit 400 officer.
The withdrawal of Iranian troops from Syria was seen by some as an indicator of waning confidence among Iran’s Shi’ite leaders in Assad’s ability to survive the uprising.
According to The Times, there have been loud complaints about an estimated $5 billion of Iranian money spent to prop up the Assad regime in Damascus.
