Croatian weapons found in Syria: Report 
 
A report says Croatian weapons have started to emerge in the hands of 
foreign-sponsored militants fighting against the Syrian government in the 
country's southwestern Daraa province.



According to a report published by Syrian newspaper Al Watan on Monday, the 
Croatian weapons include rocket launchers, surface-to-air missiles in addition 
to medium, light and sophisticated arms which have recently entered the country 
through borders with Jordan. 
The report further accused the US spying services of providing the militants 
with information about the movements of the Syrian army.

The report said: “The terrorists have started to fan out in a number of small 
towns in a bid to isolate Daraa from the rest of Syria and to control borders 
with Jordan.”

On February 26, The New York Times reported that Saudi Arabia had recently 
purchased large cargos of infantry and heavy weapons from Croatia and, through 
Jordan, funneled them to militants fighting against the Syrian government. 
Officials told that the Times that “multiple planeloads of weapons have left 
Croatia since December, when many Yugoslav weapons --, previously unseen in the 
Syrian crisis, began to appear in videos posted by militants on the YouTube.” 
Early in March, the Croatian newspaper Jutarnji List also claimed that 3,000 
tons of weapons, paid for by Saudi Arabia as requested by the US, have been 
airlifted from Zagreb airport in 75 planeloads to the militants through Jordan 
since November.
