Some parts of latest propaganda video of ISIS published today and shows ISIS using U.S. TOW anti-tank missiles during the capture of the Syrian town of Palmyra last month.
Abu Malik Tamimi which Assume ISIS commander in this attack in the video addressed fellow terrorist in Arabic, the videos also show ISIS using Tanks, Rocket launchers, Howitzers and other heavy weaponry in their attack on the town.
The TOW makes its appearance in the video.Presumably, most of these weapons have been obtained by ISIS in their victories against U.S.-backed so-called “Moderate rebels" of Syrian terrorist groups.
It is clear that capture and use of CIA-provided TOW missiles by Jabhat al-Nusra at the hand of ISIS.
So now it is clear that both Al-Qaeda and ISIS using TOW missiles that had been provided to U.S.-backed “so-called moderate” groups.
The CIA program to supply these “so-called moderate” groups with TOW systems began in April 2014, meaning that it took less than a year for these heavy weapons to end up in the hands of designated terror groups.
Reports indicate that ISIS has also obtained 40 M1A1 tanks, 74,000 machine guns, and 52 M198 Howitzer mobile gun systems.
When U.S. weapons now in the hands of terrorist groups end up killing Iraqi soldiers and civilians, who will answer for this growing blowback?
