U.S. military cargo planes gave 50 tons of ammunition to
rebel groups overnight in northern Syria, using an air drop of 112 pallets as
the first step in the Obama Administration's urgent effort to find new ways to
support those groups.
Details of the air mission over Syria were confirmed by a
U.S. official not authorized to speak publicly because the details have not yet
been formally announced.
C-17s, accompanied by fighter escort aircraft, dropped small
arms ammunition and other items like hand grenades in Hasakah province in
northern Syria to a coalition of rebels groups vetted by the US - the
Syrian Arab Coalition.
