The reports first surfaced in the Kuwaiti daily Al Rai, which said the U.S. administration has delayed the appointment of its new ambassador to Damascus in response to the weapons' shipment. It also said Syria's ambassador in Washington Imad Moustapha, was called in by State Department officials who expressed U.S. displeasure at the latest development. The controversial arms shipment was also discussed by Sen. John Kerry during his recent visit to the Syrian capital.
The Kuwaiti press reports quote unnamed U.S. sources which claim that in recent months, truckloads of medium and long range Scud missiles were shipped into Lebanon and delivered to Hezbollah. The reports say anti-aircraft weapons were also transferred.
