Khalid Saleh of the Opposition Coalition says no delivery date exists and the nature of military aid remains unclear while U S lawmakers debate funding and risk of Islamist access. The White House cited lethal chemical weapon use as basis for aid but still limits to non lethal gear reporting ongoing vetting and political caution.

The blaze began by lightning August 7 and intensified Friday leaving the valley shrouded in smoke and drawing attention from celebrity vacation spots.
