Washington, January 30 (RHC)-- Western nations have doubled arms supplies to mercenaries fighting the Syrian government, according to report amid ongoing talks on the Arab country’s crisis. The United States increased more than twice its supply of light weaponry and munitions to militants linked to the so-called Free Syrian Army's Supreme Military Command during the month of January.

Accordingly, the country has delivered over 600 tons of military aid to militants since the launch of the Geneva II crisis talks in Switzerland on January 22nd. The Supreme Military Command is aligned to the Western-backed opposition Syrian National Coalition (SNC) which is currently in talks with the government.

Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Feisal al-Meqdad has slammed Washington for supporting "terrorist groups," with Damascus issuing a separate statement accusing the U.S. of "undermining" the Geneva II talks.
