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.
