Also on Tuesday, the US spy agency, the CIA, rebuked General John Wright, the operation and cooperation commander for the proxy war in Syria, for his failure in provoking the anti-Assad forces to intensify their attacks against the governmental forces, sources said. "Brigadier General John Wright was reprehended by the CIA and was summoned to Washington on January 20 on a military plane," an informed source told FNA on condition of anonymity due to the secrecy of the issue. The 57-year-old veteran US General who has fought in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya wars had set up his office in Amman as a first step and started coordination with Saudi Arabia but couldn’t persuade Riyadh to remain committed to its undertakings to provide financial and logistic aids to the armed forces in Syria, the source said. “After rebuking Wright, the CIA gave a three-month-long deadline to him to make his best efforts to fulfill his missions,” the source added.
