""Saudi Arabia is supporting groups
here that are not religious extremists.
Americans are supervising the flow of arms and the Saudis pay for them," said
a rebel who called himself Ahmed Masri speaking to the Daily Telegraph from the
southern city of Deraa.
Saudi Arabia is also said to be supporting a US-led programme to train Syrian
rebel fighters in Jordan. A well-placed opposition lobbyist based in Jordan told
the Daily Telegraph that "the Americans are doing the training, but Saudi is
paying the money for it".
Those receiving training are mainly moderate Sunni Muslim tribesmen from
central and southern Syria, many of whom have served in the Syrian army." (thanks Sultan)
