Qatar Provides Syria Militants with Training: Reports

Local Editor

Qatar is training foreign-backed militants as part of Doha's efforts to topple the Syrian government, according to French media reports as Al-Alam said on Monday.

According to French media reports, militants from the so-called "Free Syrian Army" [FSA], "al-Nusra Front" and other terrorist groups receive training in the Arab monarchy before being sent to Syria.

The reports further noted that the militants are equipped with anti-tank missiles and global position system [GPS] devices supplied by the United States.
The militants spend one week in Turkey for a medical check-up and then head for Qatar where they undergo three weeks of training.
According to a militant source, around 100 militants are dispatched to Qatar every month to be trained before going to Syria.

At the end of the training, the militants receive a bulletproof vest, a helmet and a full medical kit, the report added, noting that they get their weapons from American forces on the Turkish border.

The Turkish daily Aydinlik has said in a recent report that the former commander of "Free Syrian Army," Salim Idris, acted as a middleman in the transfer of US-made TOW anti-tank missiles from Turkey to the militants in Syria.
The report also added that approximately a dozen militants have been trained in Turkey on how to use the weapons.

Earlier this month, the "Israeli" daily Haaretz said that Tel Aviv is seeking to launch a joint operation with Saudi Arabia to train the foreign-backed militants operating in Syria.
