The Islamic State beat back an assault on Wednesday by US-backed Syrian rebels who tried to retake a critical border crossing with Iraq.
It wasn’t just a rare battlefield win for the militants: it also allowed them to get their hands on crates of American ammunition, US mortars, a Toyota Hilux pickup adapted to carry a heavy machine gun, and new body armor.
ISIS publicized its war spoils in a video released Wednesday that also showed machine guns and M-16 rifles that most likely originated in the United States, as well as at least 2,000 rounds of ammunition that definitively came from American manufacturers, according to N.R. Jenzen-Jones, the director of specialist technical intelligence consultancy Armament Research Services, or ARES.
Further evidence of the US-origin of this equipment appears in the form of a large moving box made by Unicorr, a Connecticut-based packaging company. It did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
When will Obama stop arming ISIS? Or even the "moderate" opposition.?
The Democrats are obsessed with finding the elusive Moderate Jihadists and whitewashing Islam.
They end up arming Jihadists that turn their guns on Americans. It's so sad.
Are we wetting our pants over a modified Toyota Hilux now?
Didn't the state department make a big deal about all the Toyotas? Well it looks like they come from the CIA.
I didn't know we made toyota battle vehicles here in the states
