Syrian rebel fighters are using Facebook to trade ‘CIA-supplied’ weapons such as rocket launchers, heavy machine guns and missiles.
The social media page shows multiple types of weaponry being bought and sold among members – despite some traders’ profiles appearing to show sympathies towards ISIS.
Named ‘The First Weapons Market in Idlib Countryside’, the page has items for sale for as much as £48,000, The Mirror reported.
Among the items listed as for sale on the page were a Soviet grenade launcher £2,700, a TOW missile launcher that its buyer said was from ‘the U.S. Pentagon’, and 105mm cannon shells.
For £2,900, anyone could purchase a thermal camera and for a whopping £48,000, viewers could personally own a MANPAD – a surface to air missile launcher capable of downing aircraft.
With a large number of countries involved in the Syrian conflict, the region has become riddled with small arms.
