The Syrian state news agency on Friday attacked U.S. military plans to train and equip Syrian rebels, saying they amounted to support for terrorists. The plan is part of the U.S. strategy to roll back the Islamic State group that has seized much of eastern and **rthern Syria. Senior U.S. officials met Syrian opposition and civil society leaders in Istanbul this week to discuss the program. A Pentagon spokesman told Reuters on Thursday the U.S. military is planning to deploy more than 400 troops to help train the Syrian rebels.
