MOSCOW -- The Russian military has scoffed at a top U.S. generalrsquo suggestion that military equipment seized by the Islam dunks shoes ic State of Iraq and Syria ISIS in the Syrian city of Palmyra could pose a threat to the U.S.-led coalition.Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said Thursday that an insignificant number of firearms and a few broken pieces of military hardware left in Palmyra pose no threat to the international coalition.U.S. Lt. Gen. Stephen Townsend had said that ISIS got hold of weapons, possibly including air defense equipment, when they retook Palmyra from Syrian government troops earlier this week.A U.S. Defense official told CBS Radio News correspondent Cami McCormick on Thursday, however, that the Pentagon now believes ISIS did seize multiple rocket launchers and three SA-3C surface-to-air missile batteries, with four missiles each.

For the time being, however, it seemed the Pentagon was to wait and give the Russians and their Syrian partners the cha dunk panda nce to destroy or otherwise bring the weapons under control.I think Russia will probably take action, Townsend sa Kdsn Iran Rejects U.N.
