UN Trucks Caught Smuggling Weapons to Syria

GLOBAL RESEARCH – Is the United Nations complicit in the smuggling of weapons and ammo into Syria? In December 2015, Russia expressed its concern at the UN Security Council that arms shipments as well as “rebels” were entering Syria via U.N.-monitored checkpoints at which U.N.staff are “supposed to check the relief cargoes”(Tass January 5, 2016).  It would appear that routine weapons shipments into Syria have not been the object of UN cross border inspection.
