The video was posted online by the Middle East Media Research Institute, who managed to identify the pair, with one researcher from the group telling Fox News that they were likely being paid to fight alongside Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which fights alongside Assad’s forces.
A video has emerged online showing two men from LA crime gangs, who appear to have joined the fighting in the ongoing civil war in Syria alongside forces loyal to Bashar al-Assad.
The two men who call themselves “Creeper” from the Surenos or SUR-13 and “Wino” from the Westside Armenuan Power gang, show off their gang tattoos, and gives shout-outs to fellow gang members back in Los Angeles
The pair give away few details about what they are doing in Syria, with Creeper telling the camera only:
“In Middle East, homie, in Syria, still gangbanging”
The video cannot be independently verified, but it did get the attention of police and counter-terrorism officers back in the US according to ABC News, who spotted the video on Facebook.
