Moderate Syrian rebel group disbands

2015-03-03 5

The plans of the US-led coalition to train moderate Syrian rebels have suffered a setback.

The Hazzem movement, which was the first rebel group selected to receive training, has disbanded.

The group's ranks collapsed after days of fighting against the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front in Syria.
