Thirty-seven trucks belonging to the United States occupation forces laden with oil looted in the Syrian region of al-Jazeera passed to Iraq via the illegal al-Walid border crossing, the media reported.
The column was guarded by several technicals belonging to the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces, an paramilitary organization financed and sponsored by Washington.
Washington has at least a dozen bases in Syria, mostly in the oil and gas fields, mainly in the Hasakeh province, and maintains an enclave in the Tanef area on the border with Iraq to prevent any land communication between the two countries.
Damascus and Moscow have repeatedly denounced the illegal presence of US troops that encourage terrorist activity and aim to destabilize the country, in addition to depriving the Syrian people of wealth through theft and looting of wheat and oil.
