Free Syrian Army (FSA) Weapons

Syrian rebels have amassed large arsenals of weapons - through smuggling and raids on government facilities. Channel 4 News reveals some of the weapons being used against Bashar al-Assad's government.

The British and French governments are urging the UN to ease an arms embargo, meaning rebel groups could be easier supplied with weapons.

However, jihadist groups, which make up a large proportion of the rebel groups controlling areas of Syria, have already amassed a large number of tools with which to fight government forces.

Smuggling routes from Iraq, Libya, Jordan, Yemen and the Lebanon have helped provide the groups with weapons. At the same time, rebels have targeted military bases and ammunition depots.

Channel 4 News research has identified a complete list of the weapons already at the rebels' disposal:

9K310 Igla-1, or SA-16 Gimlet

A Russian/Soviet infrared homing surface-to-air missile - used prominently in the Gulf War and also said to have been used in Rwanda and Bosnia

9K32 "Strela-2"- SA-7 Grail and AS-24

Soviet shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile with a highly explosive warhead and infrared homing guidance - the Strela has been used widely in nearly every regional conflict since 1968, including the Falklands War, Northern Ireland, Afghanistan and Iraq.

BM21 GRAD rocket launcher

A truck-mounted rocket launcher system, originally developed in Russia in the 1960s, with variants made by a wide range of countries including North Korea, China, Egypt, Iran and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. One battalion of eighteen launchers is able to deliver 720 rockets in a single volley.

Katyusha multiple launch rocket system

A rocket launcher system, which can be mounted on vehicles, originally developed by the Soviet Union for use in the Second World War. They were allegedly used in the Six Days War, the 2006 Lebanon War, the Soviet-Afghan War and the 1990 invasion of Rwanda by the Rwandan Patriotic Front.

9K11 Malyutka or AT-3 Sagger

A guided anti-tank missile system, developed in the Soviet Union, which can be fired from a portable suitcase launcher. The system was reported to have been used in the Vietnam War, the Yom Kippur War and the 2011 Libyan civil war.

9K115-2 Metis-M

An anti-tank missile system, which can be transported in compact packs. It was reportedly used by Hezbollah fighters during the 2006 Lebanon War.

Sniper rifles

Go Green -Palestinian Children's Museum

In a land where space is limited, and public parks and gardens are few and far between, a Bethlehem-based mother of two is working on opening a museum for children — who comprise more than 40% of the Palestinian population — with a special focus on green living and sustainability.

Drawing inspiration from visits to children’s museums across the globe, Layla Kaiksow has a one-of-a-kind museum in mind for Palestinian children — one that can help them not only learn about sustainability and conservation, but also get them immersed in their culture away from the confines of the classroom.

“In Palestine, people are conscious of the environment in many ways, but in a lot of other ways they are not,” Kaiksow said. “Traditionally, Palestinians have not been a wasteful people, but as things ‘developed,’ trash became rampant and conservation isn’t exercised as it once was. We need to plant green ideas in children’s heads from the outset.”

Warga Asing dah mula mengamuk

"Nampaknya pendatang asing telah mula mendatangkan masalah di Semenanjung Malaysia, bukan sahaja di Sabah. Adakah Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim akan dikaitkan juga dalam insiden rusuhan pendatang asing di bawah ini?

Pekerja mengamuk tuntut gaji minimum
10 Mac 2013 

MUAR - Kesabaran 150 pekerja warga asing di sebuah kilang di Parit Jamil dekat sini yang melancarkan mogok sejak kelmarin bagi menuntut kenaikan gaji minimum RM900 sampai ke penghujungnya apabila mereka bertindak memukul seorang pengurus pengeluaran dan tiga penyelia kilang semalam.

Dalam kejadian pukul 3 petang itu, mereka ditumbuk dan disepak oleh 20 pekerja.

Seorang pekerja kilang yang hanya mahu dikenali sebagai Ahmad, 33, mendakwa, kumpulan pekerja asing terbabit secara tiba-tiba memasuki pejabat kilang sebelum menarik keluar ketiga-tiga mangsa.

"Pada mulanya mereka hanya menarik pengurus dan ia disedari tiga penyelia kilang yang cuba membantu tetapi dihalang kumpulan pekerja terbabit.

"Keadaan menjadi tidak terkawal apabila sebahagian daripada mereka yang berada di luar pejabat membaling batu menyebabkan banyak tingkap pecah.

"Pihak pengurusan cuba memujuk mereka supaya berhenti daripada terus mengasari pengurus tetapi tidak berjaya malah suasana menjadi semakin tegang," katanya ketika ditemui.

Difahamkan, 700 pekerja tersebut sudah melancarkan mogok sejak kelmarin tetapi pihak majikan enggan melayan tuntutan mereka.

Kejadian itu dipercayai berpunca daripada rasa tidak puas hati pekerja apabila kilang berkenaan menangguhkan pelaksanaan penetapan gaji minimum yang sepatutnya bermula Januari lalu.

Dakwa Ahmad, ekoran kejadian itu, pihak pengurusan menghubungi polis dan pekerja asing terbabit bersurai selepas diarahkan polis.

Ahmad mendakwa, pengurus dan penyelia kilang berusia lingkungan 30-an yang mengalami kecederaan di badan dan lebam di muka sudah mendapatkan rawatan di Hospital Pakar Sultanah Fatimah di sini selain turut membuat laporan polis.

Sementara itu, usaha untuk mendapatkan ulasan pihak pengurusan kilang gagal atas alasan mahu menyelesaikan masalah itu secara dalaman.

Ketua Polis Daerah Muar, Asisten Komisioner Mohamad Nasir Ramli ketika dihubungi berkata, pihaknya akan menahan mereka yang terlibat dalam kejadian itu untuk siasatan lanjut dan kes disiasat mengikut Seksyen 147 Kanun Keseksaan kerana merusuh
