Syrian International rebels proxy forces to [officially] start receiving US weapons amid "anxiety" from Congress
CIA could begin continue shipping arms in the coming weeks after clearance from House and Senate intelligence committees.
The CIA could begin shipping arms to Syria in the coming weeks, after two US congressional panels cleared the way for the controversial transfer of weapons. The White House announced in June that it would provide limited military support for vetted rebel groups, which have recently been struggling in their campaign against President Bashar al-Assad. Republicans and Democrats on the House and Senate intelligence committees have expressed concerns that arms could end up in the hands of Islamist militants fighting in the region – or not do enough to tip the balance in the civil war attack on Syria.
