France has sent troops to the Syrian border with Jordan amid
reports of escalating foreign support for the insurgents fighting the
government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
France said its soldiers have been deployed to 'help refugees' in the border area.
On Monday, the spokeswoman for the so-called Syrian National Council (SNC), Bassma Kodmani, singled out Saudi Arabia and Qatar among the countries providing arms for the insurgents.
Reports also indicate that the notorious US security firm Blackwater is reportedly training al-Qaeda militants in Saudi Arabia and Turkey’s border areas to fight in Syria.
