Syrien: US-Waffen ohne Überblick
(25.02.2020)
IntelNews (via Bpb-Newsletter) berichtet, die USA hätten über den Verbleib einer großen Zahl von US-Waffen, die an syrische Rebellengruppen geliefert wurden, keinerlei Ahnung: „The United States government is unable to account for nearly $716 million in weapons it gave to various Syrian groups during the war against the Islamic State, according to a Department of Defense audit. The weapons were procured under the Counter Islamic State of Iraq and Syria Train and Equip Funds (CTEF) program, which was administered by the US Pentagon in 2017 and 2018. The CTEF program cost the US taxpayer a total of $930 million.” (jw)
