US-Trained Terrorists Attack Syrian Army in Daraa

US-trained militants, advancing from Jordan, attacked Syrian army positions in the Southern city of Daraa.
“The US-trained rebels attacked two buildings in the provincial capital,” the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights director Rami Abdel Rahman said on Friday.

The army used these buildings to monitor the city which has been suffering deadly attacks carried out by militants throughout the two-year old bloody conflict in Syria.

The Los Angeles Times reported last week that US special forces were providing training in Jordan to militants in Syria, that included instruction in the use of anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons.

Washington’s recent military moves in Jordan, near Syria borders, have added to the grave concerns about US government pressing to send arms to insurgents in Syria to crush the army.

In the face of international efforts for a ceasefire in Syria, US secretary of States John Kerry told a conference in Doha that the war should reach to a point where militants compensate their losses first and then be able to start the talks.

The move has been widely criticized by Russia which has been trying for starting negotiations between the Syrian government and opposition to settle their conflict.

Speaking at a Friday press conference in the Moroccan Capital of Rabat, Sergei Lavrov said, “The activities aimed at providing weapons to the opposition, which have recently intensified, only means that the precondition set by the foreign-backed militants to restore a balance of power on the battle ground is supported by the west and other countries which are going to supply such weapons, this contradicting the very concept of the conference, which is to begin without any preconditions.”

Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border guards being reported across the country.

In October 2011, calm was eventually restored in the Arab state after President Bashar al-Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but Israel, the US and its Arab allies are seeking hard to bring the country into chaos through any possible means. Tel Aviv, Washington and some Arab capitals have been staging various plots in the hope of stirring unrests in Syria once again.

The US and its western and regional allies have long sought to topple President Assad and his ruling system. Media reports said that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups have received significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States.

The US daily, Washington Post, reported in May 2012 that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups battling the President Assad’s government have received significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States.

The newspaper, quoting opposition activists and US and foreign officials, reported that Obama administration officials emphasized the administration has expanded contacts with opposition military forces to provide the Persian Gulf nations with assessments of rebel credibility and command-and-control infrastructure.

Opposition activists who several months ago said the rebels were running out of ammunition said in May 2012 that the flow of weapons – most bought on the black market in neighboring countries or from elements of the Syrian military in the past – has significantly increased after a decision by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Persian Gulf states to provide millions of dollars in funding each month.
