Russia, SANA – Russia’ representative to International Syria Support Group (ISSG) Ceasefire Task Force Alexander Zorin revealed that the terrorist organization of Jabhat al-Nusra has received advanced weapons, including missiles, during the period since the cessation of hostilities agreement was enforced in Syria.

According to Zorin, who was quoted by a diplomat on Monday, Jabhat al-Nusra received advanced tanks, anti-tank missiles and a hundred anti-aircraft missiles during the duration of the cessation of hostilities agreement and it is waiting for orders from “a state on the northern Syria border” -in reference to Turkey- for using the weapons.
