'Saudi arms' seen at rebel base
BBC News has uncovered evidence that weapons intended for the Saudi military have been diverted to Syrian rebels.
Three crates from an arms manufacturer - addressed to Saudi Arabia - have been seen in a base being used by rebel fighters in the city of Aleppo.
How the small crates reached Aleppo is unknown, and the BBC was not allowed to film their contents. Saudi Arabia has refused to comment on the matter.
But their presence clearly suggests that someone in the Gulf is actively helping the rebels.
Privately, opposition sources have confirmed to the BBC that they are receiving assistance from Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
