TEHRAN (FNA)- Weeks before the Obama administration and other Western nations recognized a new Syrian opposition coalition as "the legitimate representative" of the Syrian people, Syrian rebels were receiving training in the use of light and heavy weapons with the backing of the Jordanian, British and US governments, participants in the training said.

The training took place as far back as October and involved hundreds of rebels, the participants said. In one case, the rebel participant said American intelligence officers observed what was taking place. Another said British officers were helping to organize the training. The training itself was handled by Jordanian military officers, the rebels said, McClatchy reported.

Kamal al Zoubani, a fighter from the Southern Syrian city of Daraa, said "We were allowed to take light weapons back to Syria with us."

By November, another rebel said, the training had expanded to anti-tank weapons and Stinger anti-aircraft missiles.
