{The United States has suspended all non-lethal assistance into northern Syria after Islamist rebel forces seized armed depots belonging to the opposition Free Syrian Army, a US embassy spokesman said on Wednesday.}<\/p>\n
“Because of the current situation the United States has suspended deliveries of non-lethal assistance into northern Syria,” spokesman T.J. Grubisha told AFP. <\/p>\n
But he added that the US move would not impact on humanitarian assistance which was coordinated by international and nongovernmental organisations. <\/p>\n
The Islamic Front, the largest Islamist rebel force in Syria, seized the depots belonging to the Western-backed FSA near the Bab el-Hawa border crossing with Turkey on Saturday. <\/p>\n
The seizure came after the Front announced that it rejected the authority of the FSA command.<\/p>\n
The Islamic Front was formed last month when six groups merged and pledged to work towards forming an Islamic state.<\/p>\n
