U.S. Expands Support For Syrian Rebels

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The United States has expanded support for Sunni rebels
in Syria.
Western diplomatic sources asserted that the administration of President
Barack Obama ordered an expansion of pro-rebel operations against the regime
of Syrian President Bashar Assad. They said the administration has directed
the CIA to train Syrian rebels in neighboring Jordan as well as increase
monitoring of suspected Al Qaida-aligned militias.
