VS zouden FSA-bendes in Syrië in het geheim bewapenen volgens the Sunday Times

Volgens het Syrische Breaking News (1) zou in een bericht in the Sunday Times van 9 december 2012 hebben gestaan dat de VS officieel mortieren en anti-tankwapens zouden leveren aan de bendes in Syrië.

Ik heb het oorspronkelijke artikel in de krant kunnen achterhalen (2) waarin inderdaad staat dat de VS clandestien wapens levert aan de FSA-bendes die strijden tegen Assad. Vanzelfsprekend is dit in volledige strijd met een wapenembargo tegen het land. Ook schoffeert het de partners in de VN-veiligheidsraad zoals Rusland en China.

"The United States is launching a covert operation to send weapons to Syrian rebels for the first time as it ramps up military efforts to oust President Bashar al-Assad.

Mortars, rocket-propelled grenades and anti-tank missiles will be sent through friendly Middle Eastern countries already supplying the rebels, according to well-placed diplomatic sources.

The Americans have bought some of the weapons from the stockpiles of Muammar Gadaffi, the Libyan dictator killed last year. They include SA-7 missiles, which can be used to shoot down aircraft.

The rebels are gaining ground after 20 months of civil war in which an estimated 40,000 Syrians have died. They have entered the suburbs of Damascus and have surrounded its airport. US State Department officials are in regular contact with rebel field commanders, talking to them on Skype for hours every day. The commanders have repeatedly pressed for more weapons."
