Sputnik quoted local Syrian sources as saying that US forces were training mercenaries at Koniko field, Syria’s largest gas field; A field that produces 10 million cubic meters of gas.
The report goes on to say that the United States is using these forces to protect the region’s gas and oil facilities in order to facilitate the process of stealing Syrian resources and transferring them daily to Iraq.
Sputnik also reported that US forces were using the Koniko field as a tribal prison for the region and transferring people who opposed the country’s presence in Syria to prisons in the field and the Omar oil field.
