Alleged Jabhat al-Nusra fighter poses with 'brand new US machine gun' delivered by Syrian rebels

We’re taking this one with a grain of salt. However, Hala Jaber is a reporter with the Sunday Times (U.K.), so we’re intrigued.

What we’re allegedly seeing is a member of al Qaeda-affiliated group Jabhat al-Nusra showing off some shiny new weaponry. As Twitchy reported, “varying reports” earlier this month indicated that Division 30, a group of American-trained Syrian rebels, slipped across the border into Syria and immediately surrendered their weapons and ammunition to the terrorist group.

Here’s more from earlier this month. The dates on the tweets do seem to line up with the news reports on Division 30.
