BBC: International funds in Syria go to extremists

Not only that, but according to the BBC, officers of a London-backed police force have collaborated with courts to execute brutal penalties. However, Adam Smith International, the British company running the project, said he strongly denies the accusations. Under this project, the FSP, the Syrian free police, whose purpose was to ensure law and order in the country's areas that were controlled by opposition forces.

Britain was one of 6 donors who paid for the project that financed the unarmed police force and had the condition not to co-operate with extremist groups. But the BBC says it wasn't always like this. BBC reporters found that this police co-operated with courts who ruled for barbarous executions, including the stoning of two women. The police were paid cash, funds that were then awarded to extremist groups in the area, and even the police were selected.

In many cases, where the names of dozens of police and police stations were displayed on the brothel, there was none on the ground, and many of the lists had names of the dead.
