Obama halts Pentagon plan to train Syrian rebels
Obama will end the effort to field a moderate proxy force in Syria and shift focus to supporting Kurds and established rebel groups. Only 125 fighters were trained of the planned 5,400, with early recruits ambushed and later units surrendering ammo and vehicles to Al Nusra Front. The move aims to degrade ISIL while backing Kurdish forces with airpower.
