6. Der Spiegel – April 27 2014 – Ukraine supplies syrian jihadists since 2011 (SPIEGEL report)

According to the german magazine DER SPIEGEL, the Ukraine supplies syrian islamistic rebels with rifle typs of SKS Simonow. The ukrainian state concern Ukroboronprom sends the weapons over Germany to Syria. It is not clear, to which place in Germany the weapons are transported, the german foreign department denied a statement. The rifles were send to Germany for “modifications”, an official said to SPIEGEL.

The magazine citated the american Think Tank Jamestown Foundation (connected with US-Spy Agencies). The Think Tank believes, that the weapons are sent from Germany to syrian rebels. Jamestown speaks about a number over 54 000 rifles for jihadists supplies only in 2011 and 2012. “They could be used for covert operations in syria”, Jamestown said to SPIEGEL.
The german government doesn’t want to investigate the shipments. The lawmaker of the german parlament, Sevim Dagdelen said: “It is scandalous, that the german government can’t say  anything about the actual place of the weapons.” It would be very possible, that the weapons reached jihadists in Syria.
