U.S. opposes supply of shoulder-fired missiles to Syria rebels



 'The United States is opposed to the supply of shoulder-fired missiles, capable of taking down warplanes, to rebel forces in Syria, a senior Obama administration official said on Tuesday.

 The official, travelling with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in Tunisia, was responding to a report in the Wall Street Journal on Friday which said Saudi Arabia had offered to give Syrian rebels Chinese man-portable air defence systems, or MANPADS, and anti-tank guided missiles from Russia.'
