IAMA Eliot Higgins, I founded the Brown Moses Blog, which tracks the conflict in Syria through social media, AMA

I'm Eliot Higgins, also known as Brown Moses, and I run the Brown Moses Blog, which has become well known for tracking the Syrian conflict through social media, in particular the use of arms and munitions by all sides in the conflict.

My most significant discovery was the appearance of arms of Croatian origin in the hands of the FSA in the south of the country, which would eventually lead to the New York Times uncovering a Saudi smuggling operation to secretly arm the Free Syrian Army with weapns they purchased from Croatia, flew to Jordan, and smuggled into Syria.

Recently I've been focusing on the alleged use of chemical weapons in the conflict, and I've just started a professionally translated Arabic version of my blog. I'll start answering questions in about 45 minutes, and feel free to ask my anything!
