Al-Qaeda in Libya and Syria

New allegations have turned up that the United States and NATO have either unknowingly or knowingly been supporting al-Qeada affiliates during the Libyan civil war and the current Syrian civil war. While the Obama Administration has been very open about their support for the rebels, they have also been very concerned that the training and weapons do not fall into the wrong hands. While the al-Qaeda affiliates share the same goal of dethroning leaders they think are unjust, they are not officially tied with the Rebel forces.
