Turkey gave Syria militants anti-tank missiles: Report
Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT) provided foreign-backed militants in Syria with US-made anti-tank missiles, a local daily reports. ● The Turkish daily Aydinlik said in a report that the former commander of the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA), Salim Idris, acted as a middleman in the transfer of the TOW anti-tank missiles from Turkey to the militants in Syria. About a dozen militants have been trained in Turkey on how to use the weapons, the report said. The decision for the transfer of the missiles reportedly came after a meeting between Idris and US Republican Senator John McCain last year.
