Groups armed by the CIA ... (post by Anthony Freda)
are fighting groups armed by the Pentagon.
Syrian militias armed by different parts of the U.S. war machine have begun to fight each other on
the plains between the besieged city of Aleppo and the Turkish border,
highlighting how little control U.S. intelligence officers and military
planners have over the groups they have financed and trained in the
bitter five-year-old [US-created] civil war. The fighting has
intensified over the last two months, as CIA-armed units and
Pentagon-armed ones have repeatedly shot at each other while
maneuvering through contested territory on the northern outskirts of
Aleppo, U.S. officials and rebel leaders have confirmed. In
mid-February, a CIA-armed militia called Fursan al Haq, or Knights of
Righteousness, was run out of the town of Marea, about 20 miles north of
Aleppo, by Pentagon-backed Syrian Democratic Forces moving in from
Kurdish-controlled areas to the east.
