Local Editor
The American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has appointed General John Wright as the operation and cooperation commander for the proxy war in Syria in preparation for the occupation of the Southern city of Daraa via Jordan, sources told Fars News Agency on Monday.
"Brigadier General John Wright has been appointed as the US operation and coordination commander for the proxy war in Syria," an informed source told the Iranian FNA on the condition of anonymity.
"The 57-year-old veteran US General who has fought in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya wars has set up his office in Amman as a first step and started coordination with Saudi Arabia," the source added.
"Following this meeting, the US shoulder-launched and anti-tank [Stinger] missiles were supplied to the anti-Syrian groups led by the CIA," he added.
"All members of the US-led groups are selected from among the Syrian youth and at present 3,000 of these rebels are being trained in Jordan's al-Mouqar base near the Syrian border," the source reiterated.
Moreover, the source argued that the US aims at imposing a no-fly zone in Syria after occupying Daraa.
The sources added that Bandar is seeking an arm deal with France to provide the gunmen terrorists in Syria with French anti-aircraft missiles, yet the French expressed their concerns about their strategic interests, and refused to be the sole provider of weapons for the militants, according to FNA.
In March 2011, protests calling for reform in Syria soon turned into a proxy war with international forces fighting the Syrian government, Army, and people backed by Western governments.
More than 100,000 people have been killed in the turmoil, according to the United Nation reports and millions displaced and migrated to other areas and neighboring countries.
