Syrian Rebels Weapons From CIA Following the announcement of what should be a peaceful resolution to the Syria conflict, the United States has announced that it is now providing "lethal aid" to the Syrian rebels fighting the Assad regime.
According to the Washington Post the lethal aid--which has not reached Syrian rebels for months--is now entering Syria once again, based off of US Government statements.
Officially, the shipment should only include "light" weapons. The CIA has frequently supported rebel uprisings by providing ammunition, and did so earlier in the Syria conflict, but due to various concerns, the "aid" stopped a few months ago.
Vocal members of the United States Government--along with thousands of civilians--have expressed concerns that these weapons may be ending up in the hands of terrorist groups.
Despite the US stating that weapons have reached the Syrian rebels, opposition forces are now coming out to let the media know that they have not received any aid.
