CIA begins delivering weapons
CIA begins delivering weapons to Syrian rebels: Report
 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , 12-September-2013  5:2:9 AM
The CIA has begun delivering weapons to Syrian rebels as part of US plan to strengthen the opposition armed groups against Assad regime, even as Obama Administration began talks with Russia to find a diplomatic solution to the current crisis, a media report said today.

The shipments began streaming into the country over the past two weeks, along with separate deliveries by the State Department of vehicles and other gear - a flow of material that marks a major escalation of the US role in Syria's civil war, The Washington Post reported.

The arms shipments are limited to light weapons and other munitions that can be tracked, it said adding the US is also shipping new types of nonlethal gear to rebels.

That aid includes vehicles, sophisticated communications equipment and advanced combat medical kits, the daily newspaper reported.

By doing so, US officials hope that this would tilt the balance in favour of the Syrian rebels who are fighting against the Assad regime for more than two years now.

"That is something we are not going to dispute but we are not going to publicly speak to it," a US official told the CNN, according to which the weapons are not American-made but are funded and organised by the CIA.

The report of a long-awaited military aid comes one day after the US President Barack Obama told Americans in a nationally broadcast address that he was deferring taking military action in Syria in order to study a Russian initiative which would see Damascus relinquish its chemical weapons.

Earlier, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said the US has stepped up its assistance to the Syrian rebels.

"I say that this administration, the United States supports the Syrian opposition and has provided stepped-up support to the Syrian opposition, and will continue to do that," he said in response to a question.

"But we have been explicit that the military response contemplated had to do with Assad's use of chemical weapons.
