TEHRAN, October 31 -A recent media report says member of the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group are being provided with advanced weapons by the United States in Syria, revealing Washington’s support for terrorists in the Arab country.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -Yeni Şafak, a Turkish daily newspaper, quoting sources, reported on Wednesday that there had been many cases of US forces directly delivering material and technical assistance to militants in the town of al- Mansurah, which is located in the northern Syrian province of Raqqah.
A large cache of US-made weapons, specifically shells and ammunition, was also dispatched to the al-Tanf border crossing with Jordan, which lies at the ultra-strategic intersection of the Syrian, Iraqi, and Jordanian borders, it added.
The US, which has a military base in Tanf, is believed to be regularly training terrorists in the area. The US has unilaterally declared a 55-kilometer “de-confliction zone” around the base, and frequently threatened to target Syrian forces within the area.
The cordoned-off area also contains the Rukban refugee camp, which, according to Syrian and Russian officials, is home to terrorists, including those of the al-Qaeda-affiliated Jabhat Fateh al-Sham terror group, formerly known as al-Nusra Front.
The report also said that a US-backed group comprising ethnic Kurds and Arabs was being used by the US forces to deliver weapons and material.
The US-backed Kurdish groups such as the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), militarily led by the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG), have been accused of colluding with Daesh Takfiri militants.
In early June, Turkey's presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said in an interview with NTV channel that the YPG had likely provided Daesh terrorists with a safe corridor out of Raqqah.
