The top commander of foreign-backed militants fighting
against the Syrian government says the militants have
received a 35-ton arms shipment from Saudi Arabia.
Brigadier General Salim Idris, the chief of staff of the
so-called Free Syrian Army, said on Thursday that the
consignment will help armed men in their battles against
the Syrian Army.
He added, however, that the munitions are not advanced
and sophisticated enough to enable the militants defeat
Syrian government forces.
The general noted, in particular, that the weapons will
not be able to overpower tanks and planes in the
strategic town of al-Qusayr, which is situated about 35
kilometers (22 miles) south of the western city of Homs.
