AFP - Saudi Arabia plans to supply the Syrian opposition with anti-aircraft missiles to counter President Bashar al-Assad's air force, German news weekly Der Spiegel reported Sunday.

The article, citing a classified report received by the German foreign intelligence service and the German government last week, said Riyadh was looking at sending European-made Mistral-class MANPADS, or man-portable air-defence systems.

Der Spiegel noted the shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles can target low-flying aircraft including helicopters and had given mujahideen fighters in Afghanistan a decisive edge against Soviet troops in the 1980s.

On another thread re: what the zero was going to do about Syria I was going to post, it’s up to the Saudi’s. So I’ll say it here. He will only do what the Saudi’s want.

>>>It’s a nifty scenario....Assad with Russian, Iranian, and Jihad advisers, and the Syrian rebels with American advisers. You can just sense some mess about to happen, which Mr Clean doesn’t clean up this kind of mess.<<<

Why have you placed ‘Jihad advisers’ on Assad’s side?
