a laser weapon systems have been deployed to the region in two thousand and ten president obama struck a ten year sixty billion dollar weapons deal with saudi arabia and despite bahrain's bloody crackdown on pro-democracy protesters the u.s. has reportedly continued to provide tens and tens of millions of dollars worth of weapons ammunition vehicle parts and communication equipment to the country now critics accuse the u.s. of conveniently turning a blind eye to human rights violations in the gulf region for its own interests and geo political purposes. when it comes to. running. for two hundred thirty. jails people told us murders. no repercussions with a gun it's so empowering if you have moved on but once we. also do.

into action as opposed to here in our reports. of bomb administration could decide this week whether or not to approve lethal aid for syrian rebels the u.s. secretary of state john kerry has postponed a mid east tour to participate in these talks now according to officials they will also weigh the merits of the likely move of sending a u.s. if power to enforce a no fly zone which of course would be a very controversial decision at the same time lady a falls in to do with marines have been deployed along jordan's border with syria and this is according to israeli and grainier media this deployment is unrelated so we're being told with the joint military exercise that started on sunday now the united states has deployed if sixteen jets and missiles which can be used against planes and other missiles to jordan and according to washington it might keep him in the country off to these drills the action of course has raised concerns in the international community russia says the deployment is and i'm

a construct of state that threatens to expand the conflict and many are questioning whether or not the u.s. is preparing to carry out an incursion in syria and if so this of course will only food worsen the situation there many complain and incite far more controversy we continue to hear reports of direct foreign involvement in fact we're just hearing reports now of three belgian citizens who were killed in syria fighting for the rebel front now experts. take that as many as two hundred belgians could be fighting in syria by now they would have come in through the turkish border and belgian police have a review of a state civil citizens who have returned to the country after fighting and being radicalized inside syria this is not the first time that we hearing of foreign is fighting in syria we have heard of americans fighting there in the past all of this is happening in light of the moves made by the syrian president bashar assad's forces in fact we're hearing reports that assad's troops are poised for an attack
