Today, Sputnik's Turkey reporter wrote that 18 Syrian moderate opposition fighters, who are newly graduate of American Train and Equip Program have been arrested. According to same Sputnik report, it was Nusra Front fighters ( Al Qaida affiliated) who captured these soldiers.
Pentagon's Cmdr Elissa Smith, who oversees the Syria file there, rejected those claims that any US trained Syrian opposition fighters captured or detained. Smith sent this statement: "none of the people who have been involved in our Syria Train and Equip program have been captured or detained."
