The U.S. military
said on Friday it had started training "dozens" of Syrian opposition
fighters to battle the Islamic State as part of a revamped program that
aims to avoid mistakes that doomed its first training effort in Turkey
last year. U.S. Army Colonel
Steve Warren, a Baghdad-based spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition
battling Islamic State, told Pentagon reporters that no Syrian fighters
had graduated yet from the new program.
