DAMASCUS (Dispatches) – U.S. troops have smuggled a new consignment of stolen Syrian oil into northern Iraqi regions as Washington continues plundering the natural resources of the Arab country through illegal border crossings. Quoting local sources in Yarubiyah countryside on Thursday, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported the new act of looting. “The American occupation forces stole additional quantities of oil by 14 tankers, under the protection of military armored vehicles, to the illegal al-Walid crossing with Iraqi territory,” said the report. It also added that another 85 tankers had been smuggled by the American forces into northern Iraq through the illegal crossing of Mahmoudiya a day earlier. U.S. troops steal Syrian oil on a regular basis despite international condemnation.
