A German navy ship with equipment from the German intelligence service (bnd) has been monitoring the Syrian government’s military and passing the information on to the rebels via the British and American secret service, Bild am Sonntag reported August 19.

The ship can detect troop movements nearly 400 miles away, the paper reported.

“No Western intelligence service has as good sources in Syria as the bnd does,” the paper quoted a U.S. intelligence agent as saying. It quotes a bnd member saying, “We can be proud of the significant contribution we are making to the fall of the Assad regime.”

The newspaper also reported that bnd agents intercepted telephone and radio traffic from Syria at a nato base in Adana, Turkey.

Die Welt recently reported that negotiations between opposition groups in Syria were taking place in Germany. Syrian rebels have been working on a project called “The Day After,” with opposition groups negotiating at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs. They will publish their results on August 28.

For the German military to send its army to Syria unilaterally would be politically impossible. But it’s done almost everything short of that to help the Syrian opposition. The new government will have a lot to thank Germany for once it’s in place.

Watch Germany’s relationship with Syria closely. The Bible prophesies that it will soon be drawn into a German-led alliance. For more information, read Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry’s article “How the Syrian Crisis Will End.”
