Het eerste artikel hieronder komt van Middle East Eye (MEE) dat ik vond via Anti-Media, het betreft hier VS wapenleveringen aan 'gematigde rebellen' (psychopathische moordenaars, verkrachters en martelbeulen) in Syrië, wapens en munitie die echter voor een groot deel belanden bij hun collega's van IS......
Jammer dat de schrijver van dit artikel niet ook heeft gekeken naar het feit, dat de CIA grote hoeveelheden 'Russische wapens' kocht in Oost-Europa en deze wapens aan terreurgroepen leverde in Syrië (iets dat o.a. in het daarna volgende artikel wordt beschreven). Al is het ongetwijfeld zo dat IS ook grote hoeveelheden wapens heeft buitgemaakt, o.a. op het reguliere Syrische leger.
Het artikel daaronder komt oorspronkelijk van BuzzFeed News en werd door mij overgenomen via Information Clearing House (ICH). In dit artikel het verhaal hoe o.a. raketten via Oost-Europese EU landen in handen komen van (o.a.) IS. Onder het laatste bericht 2 video's, waarvan de tekst bij de laatste video verwijst naar drie berichten, de eerste is overigens het eerste artikel van MEE direct hieronder. Voor een reportage over deze zaak werd een Bulgaarse journalist ontslagen, zonder dat de EU er ook maar één woord aan vuil maakte....... 'Leve' de nieuwe fascistische wereldorde in wording.......
Jammer ook dat men niet rept over de minstens 2 wapenleveringen van de VS direct aan IS, leveringen gedaan in Irak.....
Met deze artikelen wordt eens te meer duidelijk gemaakt dat het eerste doel van de VS in Syrië, niet IS was en is, maar de democratisch gekozen regering Assad (in door internationale waarnemers als eerlijk beoordeelde verkiezingen!). De VS stond dan ook samen met Saoedi-Arabië en Israël aan de wieg van IS en andere terreurgroepen..... De VS was al vanaf 2006 bezig de omverwerping van het Assad regime voor te bereiden. Voorts hebben Saoedi-Arabië en de VS terroristen van o.a. IS overgebracht naar Irak en Syrië, waar deze landen ook nog eens verantwoordelijk zijn voor de financiering (m.n. S-A) en de militaire training van de psychopathische moordenaars.........

Weapons
provided by the US to Syrian rebel factions ended up in the hands of
the Islamic State (IS) group, a new report has revealed.
According
to Conflict Armament Research (CAR), an organisation that tracks arm
shipments, military equipment including anti-tank weapons that were
secretly transferred by CIA to rebels fighting Bashar al-Assad were
in IS possession within two months of leaving the factory.
The
study, which was funded by the European Union and Germany, examined
40,000 weapons and equipment recovered from IS in the last three
years, as the group's "caliphate" continues to shrink in
the face of losses in Raqqa and Mosul.
It
concluded that projects to provide weapons to rebel groups had
“significantly augmented the quantity and quality of weapons
available to (Islamic State) forces."
"Supplies
of materiel into the Syrian conflict from foreign parties - notably
the United States and Saudi Arabia - have indirectly allowed IS to
obtain substantial quantities of anti-armour ammunition," read
the report. "These weapons include ATGWs and several varieties
of rocket with tandem warheads, which are designed to defeat modern
reactive armour. - Conflict
Armament Research report
"These
systems continue to pose a significant threat to the coalition of
troops arrayed against IS forces."
It
added that it could not confirm whether the weapons had ended up with
IS as a result of them being sold or because they had been seized.
US
weaponry has been used by IS since at least 2014 when the group swept
across Iraq and seized larges swathes of territory.
As
the US-trained Iraqi army collapsed in their wake, much of their
equipment was appropriated.
The
covert programme to funnel weaponry and equipment to rebels fighting
the Assad government began under Barack Obama in 2013, but was ended
in July by Donald Trump.
Attempts
to train rebel fighters across the border in Turkey also saw weaponry
end up in the hands of militant groups - the CIA-trained
Division 30, a group of roughly 70 fighters sent into northern Syria
to fight IS, were attacked by
the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front who captured their weapons.
The
report also added that more than 50 percent of the weaponry used by
IS was manufactured by China and Russia, largely from equipment
captured from the government of Iraq and Syria.
"China
produced the majority of the materiel (weapons and ammunition
combined) fielded by the group in both countries," said the
report. "However, Russian-manufactured weapons outnumber Chinese
weapons deployed by IS forces in Syria - presumably reflecting
Russian supplies to the Syrian regime.
"These
findings support widespread assumptions that the group initially
captured much of its military materiel from Iraqi and Syrian
government forces."
More
than 340,000 people have been killed in Syria since the conflict
broke out in March 2011 with protests against Assad's rule that
sparked a brutal crackdown.

Blowback: ISIS Got A Powerful Missile The CIA Secretly Bought In Bulgaria
By Aram Roston
December 14, 2017 "Information Clearing House" - A guided anti-tank missile ended up in the hands of ISIS terrorists less than two months after the US government purchased it in late 2015 — highlighting weaknesses in the oversight and regulation of America’s covert arms programs, according to information published Thursday by an arms monitoring group called Conflict Armament Research (CAR).
Though the report says the missile was purchased by the US Army using a contractor, BuzzFeed News has learned that the real customer appears to have been the CIA. It was part of the spy agency’s top secret operation to arm rebels in Syria to fight the forces of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The missile ended up in the hands of ISIS fighters in Iraq, according to the report.
The CIA declined to comment on the Obama-era program to back Syrian rebels, which was canceled by President Trump in July. The Pentagon did not provide information in time for publication.
The missile is one piece of a critical puzzle that is being solved only now, with ISIS on the run: How did the vast terror group arm its war machine? CAR spent three years tracking ISIS weapons as they were recovered by Iraqi, Syrian, and Kurdish forces — and found that what happened to the missile was no aberration. Indeed, the terror group managed to divert “substantial quantities of anti-armour ammunition” from weapons provided to Syrian opposition forces by the US or Saudi Arabia.
The anti-tank missile recovered from ISIS in February 2016. It had been shipped to the US Army in December 2015.
The investigators from CAR found that the policy has sometimes backfired, allowing America’s enemies to obtain arms meant for its allies. “Evidence collected by CAR indicates that the United States has repeatedly diverted EU-manufactured weapons and ammunition to opposition forces in the Syrian conflict,” the report states. ISIS, it continues, “rapidly gained custody of significant quantities of this materiel.”
The report lists 12 cases where Eastern European weapons originally sent to the US military or US contractors appear to have been diverted, somehow, to ISIS.
The weapon purchased by the US government in 2015, a 9M111B missile, is highly portable and can land a devastating charge with pinpoint accuracy on tanks, trucks, or buildings.
BuzzFeed News has been tracking the CIA’s procurement of 9M111 missiles as part of the deal for three years. In 2014, the CIA issued a contract to obtain 600 such missiles to Kiesler Police Supply, two sources said. Kiesler is a small Indiana company that frequently contracts with the CIA, according to experts in arms dealing. According to the CAR report, the contract for the missile that ended up in the possession of ISIS was handled by Kiesler.
De liegende oorlogshitsers Nikki Haley en Colin Powell, de laatste had later spijt van zijn leugens over Irak's massavernietigingswapens ten overstaan van de VN. O.a. deze leugens kostte meer dan 1,5 miljoen Irakezen het leven........
The Indiana firm acquired those missiles from a Bulgarian company called SAGE Consulting, sources familiar with the transaction told BuzzFeed News. Bulgaria is a major source of the weapons that the US and other powers use to arm client armies.
In an email this summer, Kiesler declined to discuss the issue, writing that “we are not contractually authorized to disclose any information.” The company also insisted it was not to blame for where the weapons ended up. “Once Kiesler delivers its products to the customer, it does not have visibility with respect to the Government’s handling, use or disposition of the material,” it said.
On Wednesday, a woman who answered the phone at Kiesler hung up immediately. Then, after she was called again, she said that "we don’t talk to the media."
SAGE, a well-known broker in the Bulgarian capital Sofia, declined a request for interviews with BuzzFeed News. But two Bulgarian arms dealers say SAGE has indeed been manufacturing the 9M111 missile, at a factory called VMZ, for the US government. “They make them only for the Americans,” one said, adding that the US buys as many as SAGE can manufacture.
Two sources familiar with the Syrian opposition told BuzzFeed News in 2015 that the CIA had begun to set up and train small tank-killing units of rebels. Each of these small units was planned as a force multiplier, which could enter a battle and effectively knock out Syrian armored positions, leveling the battlefield for the rebels.
In its report, CAR says the missile was originally purchased in Bulgaria by the US on Dec. 15, 2015. Just 59 days later, it was recovered in Ramadi, Iraq, after it had been fired by ISIS in combat.
In its report, CAR said a photo showed a US-backed Syrian rebel group, Jaysh al-Nasr, firing a missile that is identical to the one recovered from ISIS in Ramadi. The serial numbers on the ISIS missile and on one fired by Jaysh al-Nasr suggest that the two missiles were “part of the same supply chain,” according to CAR’s report.
A source close to the Syrian opposition said Jaysh al-Nasr fights chiefly in the north of Hama province, and was indeed aided by the CIA in Turkey. Two sources said the group received anti-tank missiles from the CIA.
It’s unclear how a missile provided to Jaysh al-Nasr in Syria would have ended up across the Iraqi border in ISIS hands.
A former Syrian opposition figure said rebels were vetted to the best of the CIA’s ability. The rebels, he said, were cautioned that every time they fired a weapon, they had to bring back the empty casings to prove they had in fact fired it rather than stolen or traded it.
Clarification: This post has been updated to reflect that Jaysh al-Nasr chiefly fights in the north of Hama Province.
