TEL AVIV – Russia delivered to the Obama
administration a list of the names of al-Qaida members among the Syrian
rebels, who are receiving arms shipments coordinated by the U.S.,
according to informed Middle Eastern security officials.
The list, the officials added, demonstrates
the U.S. is failing to vet the rebels being supported by the West for
ties to al-Qaida and other jihad groups.
The information comes amid scores of news
media reports that the Obama administration is aiding the rebels,
including by coordinating Arab arms shipments.
The arming of Syrian rebels is considered
highly controversial. A major issue is the inclusion of jihadists,
including al-Qaida, among the ranks of the Free Syrian Army and other
Syrian opposition groups.
Just last week, WND broke the story that
the U.S. in recent weeks aided in the transfer of shoulder-launched,
anti-aircraft missiles, or man-portable air-defense systems, to the
Syrian rebels, according to informed Middle Eastern security officials.
