Syrian Army blocks US convoy in oil-rich Hasakah province

THE Syrian Arab Army blocked a US convoy in the northern oil-rich Hasakah province on Sunday evening, accusing Washington of the continued plunder of the country’s natural resources.

At least six US armoured vehicles were prevented from passing through the villages of Qabr al-Saghir and Qabr al-Gharajeneh as locals took to the streets in angry protest.

They were joined by the Syrian Arab Army as rocks were hurled at the US forces while chanting slogans demanding an end to the occupation of Syria.
