WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The comment comes as it was reported that Gulf States, or even Turkey, could arm Syrian rebels amid the collapse of the ceasefire. The supplies may include shoulder-fired missiles that could be used against warplanes.
“I am not going to confirm what anonymous US officials may or may not have said,” Toner told reporters when asked about a report that Gulf states may arm opposition with MANPADS like the US did 30 years ago against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.
