France gives $1.5mn to Foreign Terrorists in Syria

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius says the country has allocated 1.5 million dollars in emergency aid to the newly-formed Syrian opposition, known as the National Coalition.

According to Press TV, Fabius said in a statement on Monday that France, which is the first European country to recognize the Syrian opposition, wants to help the so-called National Coalition fight against the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
On November 15, the French foreign minister said that the European Union’s arms embargo against Syria should be removed so that France can respond to a plea for “specialized weapons” by the leader of Syrian opposition.
The so-called Syrian National Coalition for Revolutionary and Opposition Forces (SNCROF) was formed on November 11 when the opponents of President Assad agreed to form a broad coalition to overthrow the Syrian president, urging their foreign supporters to provide them with more advanced weaponry.
