“War is great business ” Aleppo's main gun seller Abu Mohammad is doing just fine by selling firearms, including rocket-propelled grenades, ammunition and even swords.
An article on the owner of Aleppo's local gun shop that you will probably find interesting ...

I'm surprised his stock hasn't been 'liberated' by the 'rebels' yet!

The rebels are very well supplied by the west, Quatar, Turkey & the Saudis in high tec & modern hardware . I very much doubt a Mosin even fitted to a modernish looking scope or an ancient PPSH41 will excite them too much ...

Exactly, seems that aiding terrorists is not a crime when it's your government doing it.
Fair play to the guy, making a few bucks: just like Haliburton etc..
Home made rockets: filled with gas and fired at civvies by the terrorists (NOT rebels), and blamed on the legit government!

Well ... I feel rather sorry for the poor chap ...
Abu Mohammad is trying to make an honnest living supplying weapons to slaugther those infidel dogs who oppose the word of Allah but big-corporastion West is hell bent in destroying his entrepreneur business by floding the market and undercutting him ...
That is definitly not cricket ...
Islamist fighters seized Western-backed rebel weapons warehouses ... which contained trucks, food, medical packs and communication equipment including laptops and radios ... the Islamic Front had seized anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons from the SMC arms stores in fighting on Saturday.

So ... Please do start a campaign to "Save the corner shops" of entrepreneurs like Abu Mohammad and BTW do ask smart pants Hagues to tell us how he will now recover the weapons & equipment he has supplied to the "moderates" ...
