Israel Warns U.S.: Russia Plans Syria Arms Sale
(Wall Street Journal) Jay Solomon, Adam Entous, and Julian Barnes - Israel has warned the U.S. that a Russian deal is imminent to sell advanced S-300 ground-to-air missile systems to Syria. If Syria were to deploy the systems, it would make any international intervention in Syria far more complicated, according to U.S. and Middle East-based officials. Syria has been making payments on a 2010 agreement with Moscow to buy four batteries for $900 million. The first shipment could come over the next three months.
