Militant Detained in Syria Claims He Underwent Training Supervised by US Instructors
Earlier it was reported that three Mahavir as-Saura group militants were detained and taken to the Syrian city of Tadmore near Palmyra after they got into a minefield.
One of the militants detained near the city of Palmyra in western Syria told reporters that he had been trained under the supervision of US instructors.
A militant, who was identified as Abdullah al-Mishuat, said that he and his counterparts were taught how to handle different types of weapons by the American instructors, who would come to the trainings to "observe from afar, monitor and evaluate the training process". The lessons, however, were conducted by the Syrians, according to the militant.
"We were taught to handle all types of weapons by American instructors. All of the weapons were US-made. I saw American instructors who come to training, however, those are conducted by Syrians. Americans observe from afar, monitor and evaluate the training process. The training were difficult, they lasted for two or three hours, no less," the detained militant told reporters.
