Free Syrian Army Gets Tribal Support from Syria's Neighbors
(Arab News-Saudi Arabia) Ibrahim Naffee - A Free Syrian Army military source said most supplies come by road from Turkey, Iraq, and Jordan. Tribes play a major role in securing border roads for the delivery of weapons, said member of the opposition Syrian National Council Muhammad Mazeed al-Tarkawi. At the Lebanese-Syrian border, the Alfawwara, Alturki and Bani Khaled clans supply the FSA with weapons, money and men. Tribes on the Jordanian border are also delivering support in the form of money and weapons, according to al-Tarkawi. Tribes on the Syrian-Iraqi border give only moral support, he said.
