Arab States Arm Syrian Rebels
(Independent-UK) Justin Vela - Rebel fighters from the Free Syrian Army (FSA) have received weapons from Saudi Arabia and Qatar which were transported into Syria via Turkey with the implicit support of Turkey's intelligence agency, MIT, according to a Western diplomat in Ankara. FSA members said that three weeks ago they received multiple shipments of arms including Kalashnikov assault rifles, BKC machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades and anti-tank weaponry. One FSA member claimed the weapons had arrived at a Turkish port via ship and were then driven to the Syrian border without interference from Turkish authorities.
