A BIG OOPS - US investigates ISIS possession of American weapons air dropped ‘by mistake’
US investigates ISIS possession of American weapons air dropped ‘by mistake’

(IraqiNews.com) The US Department of Defense, Pentagon, started to investigate the video showing ISIS gunmen possessing weapons dropped by American planes that were to be delivered to Kurdish fighters in the city of Ain Arab (Kobanî), Syria.
Last Monday, the American army announced that it had dropped 27 shipments of small arms, ammunition and medical aids to Kurdish fighters who were defending the city of Kobani against attacks from militants of the so-called Islamic state in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said in his statement to the BBC: “The Pentagon is very confident that the majority of these shipments eventually reached the right hands,” noting that he cannot confirm the authenticity of the footage showing the militants, who are loyal to ISIS, in their possession weapons dropped by American planes meant to be delivered to Kurdish fighters in Kobanî.
The American military acknowledged that “one of these shipments has lost its way, but it was destroyed so as not to fall into the hands of the enemy. The rest of the shipments are delivered without hindrance.” However, a media group related to the organization ISIS published a video on the internet showing weapons like those dropped by American planes in the hands of ISIS militants.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, based in Britain, confirmed that the ISIS militants got one of the weapon shipments that had been dropped.

It is my understanding that two pallets of mixed supplies did indeed land in IS controlled areas. One was immediately destroyed by an air strike, the status of the second pallet was unknown. Both contained humanitarian supplies and some small arms.
