Not sure how much of a secret this really was. One of these convoys got stuck in the Syrian desert on its way to Iraq and was widely reported on.

That's a different convoy, from Lebanon and it's in southern Syria.

It is a well known fact that ISIS was instructed by SAS and American special forces. They have also been reported that ISIS commanders where airlifted by American helicopters. So much about fighting terrorism. United States along with Britain and other European nations have been become the epiphany of hypocrisy( remember the bombing of Libya where British and French were giving a hand to the Americans?). These facts should make every American feel deep shame for their country, but shame was not a human trait when I was living in the States a long time ago. Let's make a million dollars, no matter who dies is the American Motto.

For such a "well-known fact", I haven't heard of it. (I suppose it could be true in the sense that some nonzero number of ISIS members were formerly part of local militaries.)

Where did you hear it, Mr. Throwaway-account created just 9 minutes ago?

Can you please give sources, how do you know that they are instructed by SAS ? This is very common theory with no backing that I know.

Only sources on this I can find is that in a way the US created ISIS by bombing a whole lot of civilians in the region and thus fueling an uprising. Nothing concrete regarding the SAS or Special Forces training them.
