Washington, October 9 (RHC)-- The Barack Obama administration is abandoning the $500 million program to train and arm so-called 'moderate' rebels in Syria.

The move is an apparent acknowledgment that the program had failed to create a ground combat force capable of challenging ISIL. The Pentagon says it will officially announce the end of the program today.
