Arms for Syrian rebels won't fall into extremist hands, says William Hague
"Hague, speaking on the Today programme, insisted arms need not fall into the wrong hands. "We are currently sending equipment that saves lives and who are we sending that to? Well, we are sending it to those more moderate, more sensible elements of the opposition. Obviously, we're not sending it to extremist groups, to groups that we're very concerned about, that could become a terrorist threat."..."
"He warned that the civil war could spread into a wider conflagration across the Middle East, saying: "We shouldn't rule any option out because who knows how serious this crisis will become, how it will develop over the coming months, or indeed years. This has now been going on for nearly two and a half years, so we really shouldn't be in the business of ruling out any options and there are no palatable options."..."
"...so it's a classic dilemma."..."
