National Edition News Cover for November 7, 2013 - Missiles in Syria may help arm al Qaeda: This March 6, 2011 file photo shows a Libyan rebel brandishing a SA-7 model Syriaís shoulder-fired anti-aircraft weapon in the oil town of Ras Lanouf, in eastern Libya. A new independent report warns that the Syrian governmentís arsenal of 20,000 portable anti-missile systems are at risk of falling into the hands of terror groups. Many of Syriaís shoulder-fired anti-aircraft weapons were imported from Russia, such as the older SA-7. More than 15,000 anti-aircraft weapons went missing after Moammar Gadhafiís ouster and Western officials suspect some ended up in the hands of terror groups. (AP Photo/Hussein Malla, File)
