Nine top officers from the opposition Free Syrian Army resigned Saturday over shortages and mismanagement of military aid from donor countries to their uprising against President Bashar al-Assad.
"We seek your (the rebels') forgiveness in resigning today, leaving behind our responsibility as chiefs of battlefronts and (opposition) military councils," the officers said in a statement.
Some Western military aid has trickled into Syria in recent weeks, but overall the United States has been reticent to arm rebels over fears advanced weapons could end up in jihadist hands.
