CRIMINAL: Details Emerge of Washington’s ‘Fast & Furious’ Arms Trafficking in Syria
21st Century Wire says…
No doubt about it. Extremely reckless, dangerous, totally unethical and completely illegal.
Back in 2011, President Obama green-lighted one of the CIA’s worst ever operations – one which resulted in the flooding of weapons, ammunition, and into the hands of ‘moderate’ terrorist fighters running wild in Syria.
Obama assured Arab monarchs that the US would supply the weapons for the proxy war in Syria.
The twisted logic and naive optimism of Washington elites was such that they were convinced that these terrorists would eventually bring Syria to its knees and topple the government in Damascus – enabling the US-led “coalition” to divide up Syria and rules over a protracted period of chaos in the region, not caring about the ‘collateral damage’ they have caused along the way.
This is proof of the US operation, but it’s only the tip of iceberg…
Documents released by the US government’s Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website have provided an indication of the types and numbers of Eastern European weapons and ammunition the United States is providing to Syrian rebel groups as part of a programme that continues despite the widely respected ceasefire in that country.
[The following manifest was make available through official channels]
The FBO has released two solicitations in recent months looking for shipping companies to transport explosive material from Eastern Europe to the Jordanian port of Aqaba on behalf of the US Navy’s Military Sealift Command.
Released on 3 November 2015, the first solicitation sought a contractor to ship 81 containers of cargo that included explosive material from Constanta in Bulgaria to Aqaba.
The solicitation was subsequently updated with a detailed packing list that showed the cargo had a total weight of 994 tonnes, a little under half of which was to be unloaded at Agalar, a military pier near the Turkish town of Tasucu, the other half at Aqaba.
The cargo listed in the document included AK-47 rifles, PKM general-purpose machine guns, DShK heavy machine guns, RPG-7 rocket launchers, and 9K111M Faktoria anti-tank guided weapon (ATGW) systems. The Faktoria is an improved version of the 9K111 Fagot ATGW, the primary difference being that its missile has a tandem warhead for defeating explosive reactive armour (ERA) fitted to some tanks.
