Syria is importing significant volumes of grain via Lebanon to work
around western sanctions and secure vital supplies, European traders

The trade is not illegal because food imports are
not included in sanctions imposed by the European Union, the United
States and other Western countries on President Bashar al-Assad's
government over his crackdown on a revolt, writes Michael Hogan.
