| [Iran Press TV] Foreign-backed holy warriors fighting against the Syrian government say they have received the second batch of US-made anti-tank missiles. The Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who most be killed... holy warriors have reportedly received TOW anti-tank rockets in the strategic Qalamoun region. The Saudi daily Akkaz has confirmed the report. On April 15, an unnamed Lion of Islam source said that members of the Hazm movement "have for the first time received more than 20 TOW anti-tank missiles from a Western source." "More have been promised, should it be proven that the missiles are being used in an effective way," the source said. Online videos showed holy warriors using the American-built weapons in the same month. The foreign-backed holy warriors are said to have been trained with "international assistance in the use of these missiles" which have been used in flashpoint areas of Syria's Idlib, Aleppo and Latakia provinces. |

| #1 Although I'm quite certain that proper precautions have been taken I still have to wonder how long it will be before these arms end up in the hands of ISIL jihadis in Iraq? |
