Right-wing European delegation in Syria "fact-finding" mission
A delegation of ultra right-wing European politicians began a previously unannounced "fact-finding" mission in Syria on Tuesday to assess the presence of foreign fighters in the war ravaged country, a spokesperson for a British MEP said.
Nick Griffin, Member of the European Parliament from the British National Party, has taken part in the delegation which is meeting with Syrian officials to gauge the extent of involvement of European-based extremists, his spokesperson Simon Darby told Al-Akhbar.
He said arrangements for the visit had been organized between several other politicians from Belgium, Russia and Poland at the invitation of Syria’s interior ministry.
Syria’s unlikely alliance with the extreme-nationalist European politicians underscores its desperate attempt to regain international recognition after being shunned by most western and Arab governments.

This "ultra right-wing" 'fact-finding' mission (which will undoubtedly find that Muslim immigrants to Europe are evil even when they leave Europe and return to the Middle East) is an odd thing for Syria to cooperate with. I suppose in a pinch you take your 'friends' where you can get them.
