NATO confirms Syria is using Scud missiles

NATO intelligence has indicated that Scud missiles are being used against Syrian rebels, Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Thursday, reported dpa.

"We detected the launch of a number of unguided short-range missiles inside Syria earlier this week," said Rasmussen. "Some of the information indicates they were Scud type missiles."

He added: "The missiles were fired from inside Syria and they impacted inside Syria, so in other words no missiles hit neighbouring territory. In general, I think the regime in Damascus is approaching collapse. I think now it's only a question of time."
