Britain: Prime Minister accused of betraying Syrian rebels
Syria's top "rebel" commander has accused David Cameron of betrayal after the Prime Minister abandoned plans to arm the Syrian opposition. - "General" Salim Idris, the head of the [so-called] Free Syrian Army, said the decision would "leave us alone to be killed" by President Bashar al Assad, and pave the way for al-Qaeda to dominate the rebel ranks. Mr Idris hit out in an interview with The Daily Telegraph after Downing Street confirmed that Mr Cameron had ruled out arming the opposition on advice from the British military. The government had previously hinted that it was strongly considering it, successfully lobbying two months ago for an end to the European Union arms embargo. But military chiefs at Britain's National Security Council are understood to have warned Downing Street that the conflict was now too advanced for basic weapons supplies to make much difference.

Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey: Syria: War crimes by terrorist FSA - The Free Syrian Army, a motley collection of fanatics, Islamists, Chechen and Afghan mercenaries, terrorists, murderers, rapists, torturers, looters, thieves, arsonists, you name it... is yet again exposed in this column practising war crimes, this time the forced starvation of millions of civilians. And the west supports these monsters? The Vatican news agency Fides is the latest to confirm that the Free Syrian Army, which Cameron, Hollande and Obama from the FUKUS Axis (France-UK.US) back as being the alternative to President Assad, has been practising the forced starvation of civilians in Aleppo, living in areas supporting the Government. As we reported in this column last week, the situation is desperate. Fides has released a report made by five Franciscan friars who visited the city, confirming that the civilian population in areas loyal to the Government are being deprived of food and medication by Syrian terrorist forces fighting the Government. To make sure the blockade is complete, the terrorist forces have detonated explosives under a bridge, destroying it and have blocked a road. Yet the West continues to support these demons.
