The United States has charged a naturalized American citizen with providing military supplies to a Syrian rebel group that often fights alongside the country's Al-Qaeda affiliate, AFP reports.
The Washington Post identified the man late Monday as Amin al-Baroudi, aged 50, and said he was charged in an indictment unsealed last week.
The specific charges are violating US sanctions against Syria and conspiring to defraud the United States, the newspaper said.
Syrian-born Al-Baroudi sought to supply firearm scopes, tactical vests and other supplies to the Ahrar al-Sham rebel group, the Post said.
