Islam Times - TOW missile reached Syria rebels

Islam Times - According to several sources, Syria rebels would be in possession of TOW missile - anti –tank missiles –

Earlier this month Russian media claimed that America has started supplying Syrian militants with such heavy weaponry via Saudi Arabia and its allies in the region. The aim is to shift the balance of power in favour of Syria’s rebel groups and topple Syrian President Bashar Al Assad.

Even though experts have strongly warned against such move, stressing that groups such as Al Qaeda will undoubtedly seek to acquire such technology of war, Saudi Arabia has nevertheless pushed Washington to up its war game in the Levant.

On pictures posted online, the missile reads, "BGM-71E" also known as "TOW-2A". It is important to note that it was Saudi Arabia which in the 1980s bought such weapons from the US.
