The Free Syrian Army (FSA) and the United States intelligence services are working together on targets that will bring about regime change in the country, according to FSA commanders.
Senior rebels in Aleppo confirmed they have provided five specific targets that would degrade the Syrian army, would not impact on the civilian population and would give them the upper hand in the coming months.
It is widely acknowledged in northern Syria that this type of information is being passed to US "handlers" across the battlefield that is now Syria.

It is an open secret that the US is training, and heavily linked to, the FSA and rebel groups in Turkey and Jordan.
