BEIRUT (Reuters) - Two Russian air strikes in Syria on Thursday hit a training camp operated by a rebel group that received military training from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, its commander said.

The attack on the Liwa Suqour al-Jabal group in Idlib province was at least the third Russian air raid on a mainstream Free Syrian Army rebel faction that has received military support from President Bashar al-Assad's foreign enemies.
