American Jihadis and state of the art weaponry in Syria

The vid at bottom has Jonathan Hunt (FoxNews) talking to David Reaboi of Strategic Communications (Frank Gaffney's org.) about the kind of weapons in the hands of terrorist cannibals rampaging in Syria....and how those weapons waltz their way  into Syria.

John Rossomando writing at InvestigativeProject:
....A Pittsburgh man may be the latest American killed as part of the global Muslim jihad against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The man, identified as Amir Farouk Ibrahim, 32, was reportedly killed July 22 in fighting between Syrian Kurdish forces and those linked to the Islamic State of Iraq, an al-Qaida affiliate.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based Syrian opposition group, posted pictures of Ibrahim's American and Egyptian passports on its Facebook page. Ibrahim's passport appeared alongside about a dozen others belonging to men from around the Islamic world, underscoring the fact that the Syrian conflict has become a transnational one.

"The documents were found after the ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) retreated from the town after intense clashes last week with the YPG (Yekineyen Parastina Gela Kurdish faction)," the Syrian Observatory wrote on its Facebook page. "We do not know the fate of the owners of these documents, whether they are dead or alive and still active in Syria."

Ibrahim would be the second American killed fighting in Syria's civil war. Nicole Lynn Mansfield, 33, a Muslim convert from Flint, Mich., was killed fighting in Syria in May.

Ibrahim's relatives, who now live in Cairo, Egypt, told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that he traveled to Turkey in February or March and then crossed into Syria. Turkey has been a major entry point for Islamist fighters looking for a piece of the action.........
