A member of the political body of the National Syrian Coalition, Munther Makhoos, denied that the FSA received of any type of weapons lethal or non-lethal from the United States of America. He denied the validity of the news reported in the media that the Supreme Military Council under the leadership of Chief of Staff had been provided weapons. Makhoos said in an interview at noon today on Al-Jazeera: “We have not received any military aid from America and I have confirmed this through direct contacts made with the President of the Coalition and members of the political body in the Coalition and who, in turn, denied any military support from the United States for the Free Syrian Army in Syria.” This is from a member of the political body of the Coalition who expressed surprise about the behavior of the international community towards the killing of Syrians asking, “Is murder with scud missiles, cannons and gunpowder less severe than murder chemical weapons and toxic gases.” Makhoos also accused the regime and his cronies of creating extremist groups in order to discredit the Islamic battalions fighting on the ground, recalling the release of hundreds of detainees from Sidnaya.
