Security Officials: Syria Used Chinese Intel to Bomb U.S. Arms Shipment

Intelligence provided by China was utilized by Syria’s air force to bomb a Western weapons shipment on its way to arm the Syrian rebels, according to informed Middle Eastern security officials.

The officials said the air strike was carried out Saturday just as the weapons convoy entered Syrian territory from neighboring Jordan.

The officials said the arms shipment was coordinated with help from the U.S.

The Journal reported the CIA was bringing light arms and possibly anti-tank missiles to Jordan.
