Russia accuses Libya of training and arming Syrian militants against President Bashar Assad’s regime.

The accusation was made by Russia’s envoy Vitaly Churkin during a UN Security Council meeting on Wednesday.

"We have received information that in Libya, with the support of the authorities, there is a special training center” for the Syrian militants “and people are sent to Syria to attack the legal government," Churkin said.

"This is completely unacceptable...This activity is undermining stability in the Middle East," he added.

The accusation comes after a document recently released by the whistleblower website, Wikileaks, revealed that undercover US-led NATO forces were operating inside Syria against the Syrian government.
