US To Transfer Weapons To Rebel Factions In Syria – jerusalemonline.
According to a report by the Reuters news agency, the U.S. will supply more “moderate” factions of the rebels in Syria with arms and weaponry to be via Jordan. The decision was authorized in a U.S. Congressional hearing held behind closed doors
American-made firearms will apparently be transferred to “moderate” factions among the rebels in Syria, according to a report last night from the Reuters news agency. Top security officials in the US and European countries provided the information to Reuters. The security officials claim that most of the weapons will be transferred via Jordan, to non- Islamic factions fighting the Assad regime.
The supply of weapons will include a wide variety of firearms such as American-made assault rifles and even more powerful weapons such as shoulder-fired anti-tank weaponry. The arms shipments will not include however, anti-aircraft missiles out of fear that these weapons will fall into the wrong hands.
The decision to provide weapons to rebel factions in Syria was authorized by a U.S. Congressional hearing held behind closed doors. For a long time, the U.S. Congress has refused to authorize the supply of weapons to rebels in Syria primarily out of concern that weapons will end up in the hands of factions who oppose the US and Western influence.
