1: "Britain licenced sniper ammunition which was probab;y used to train the snipers on the streets of Homs"

Explain please what "Britain licenced sniper ammunition" means. Does it mean that the appropriate Government Ministry or Department issued an export licence? If so is there any proof that that licence was used?

As for the last bit - "which was probab;y used to train the snipers on the streets of Homs" - more than likely it probably wasn't as:

(a) The type of ammunition was wrong NATO 7.62mm as opposed Soviet 7.62mm - the NATO stuff does not fit in Soviet weapons which Assad has shedloads of.

(b) The licence covered the export of a minute amount of ammunition roughly 100,000 rounds and the licence was issued in 2009. The unrest that led to the internal disintegration of Syria commenced in the Spring of 2011. The Syrian Armed Forces are conscripts who before 2011 served for two years, in 2011 this was reduced to 18 months. Knowing Jom to be a wizard at arithmetic and an absolute demon for detail it should appear obvious to all that anyone trained as a sniper in 2009 would no longer be serving in 2011 (New recruits would in 2009 have to have complete basic training prior to being put forward for specialist training such as signallers, snipers, armourers, artilleryman, armour.).

2: " we supplied him with electronic equipment that was used for torture"

Evidence for that claim is where Jom?

3: "Britain sold chemicals capable of being used in the manufacture of weapons"

Also used to make toothpaste, which it was most likely used for going by the manufacturing records and sales data from the company supplied.
