US armed Syrian gangs 8 months ago
Saudi Arabia has said that arming the Syrian rebels is "an excellent idea," following remarks by US President Barack Obama vowing to use every tool available against Damascus.
Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal made the comments during a meeting with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the sidelines of an international conference on Syria in Tunisia.
Faisal's remarks could yet be seen as another signal of Riyadh's intervention in a foreign country after it sent hundreds of troops to neighboring Bahrain to crush peaceful protests there.
