Vladimir Kozin, a military expert at Moscow State Institute of International 
Relations, was quoted by the Arabic website of RT as saying that the US has 19 
bases in Syria to train the terrorists.
He added that the weapons, ammunition, fuel and foodstuff needed in these 
centers are provided by 22 US military bases outside Syria.
Kozin said that the American forces train the terrorists at al-Tanf base in 
Syria's Badiyeh region in the South, adding that the US army has closed the 
airspace of this region in a radius of 50km without any agreement with the 
Damascus government.
He described Washington's military and technical support for terrorist groups as 
a violation of the UN Charter and agreements to decrease tensions in Syria, and 
said the US supports the terrorists to maintain its influence on the political 
and military situation of the country.
Media sources reported last Saturday that the US occupying forces are attempting 
to open different ways to transfer terrorists between al-Tanf, Deir Ezzur and 
Homs by contacting the tribes in Eastern Syria for cooperation.
The Arabic website of Sputnik news agency quoted tribal sources in Eastern Syria 
as saying that the US forces transfer the ISIL terrorists from the desert region 
bordering Iraq to al-Tanf through al-Sukhneh in Homs.
Meantime, one of the prominent tribal leaders in Eastern Syria revealed that 
Mohannad al-Tala, a US proxy and commander of the so-called New Syrian Forces 
group in the US base in al-Tanf, has contacted the Syrian tribes, calling on 
them to open a passage for the terrorists to leave al-Tanf for Deir Ezzur to 
reach al-Omar oil field.
He added that the US forces fear uprisings by the people in Eastern Syria, 
noting that one of their goals to approach the tribes is to keep deployment in 
the region as Washington attempts to win the cooperation of the tribes in Manbij, 
Hasaka and Deir Ezzur have all failed.
Meantime, the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) has freed its militant 
inmates and sent them to the battlefield to attack al-Tanf-Sukhneh road in Homs 
and open a passageway and the Jordan road to al-Tanf.
The US forces had in the past 10 days been busy with transferring the ISIL 
terrorists with at least 10 armored trucks and heavy artillery to attack Albu 
Kamal from Abu Hameseh in Hasaka.
