UPDATE: U.S. LIFTS BLANKET ARMS-EXPORT DENIAL POLICY FOR SYRIA: Effective October 1, the U.S. State Department removed Syria from the ITAR list of countries subject to an automatic policy of denial for defense-export licenses. The change does not approve any specific weapons sale; requests involving Syria can now be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The move followed the August 24 rescission of Syria's State Sponsor of Terrorism designation and the waiver of remaining arms-sale restrictions.
