US military trucks were reported to have smuggled tons of grain from Syria’s north-eastern Hasakah province via an illegal border crossing on Saturday.
At least 40 vehicles entered the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Region of Iraq via the al-Waleed border crossing in the al-Yarubiyah region, according to local sources.
The convoy was laden with wheat crops from the Jazira region of Syria and eyewitnesses claim the US trucks were accompanied by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces.
