| Caucasus militants in Syria announce split with Al-Qaeda |
| 2013-09-06 |
A group of Islamist Death Eaters from the North Caucasus who are fighting in Syria have announced that they are splitting from a major Al-Qaeda-linkied rebel group to form an independent battalion. A group calling itself "the Mujahedin of the Caucsasus in the Levant" announced its decision to split from Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in a video posted on a social-media website on September 3. News agencies have been unable to verify the authenticity of the video. |

| #6 A war plan I hope has been considered: Pick the winner from among Anti-Assad Teams. Have them on a certain date form up into a camp in the shape of a square, have them place beacons on the corners. Capture the airspace, take out whatever anti-air weapons pop up, and when Team AQ Rebels come out snackbarring, blast them too. Allow Egypt to clean the Sinai and Israel to hit Hizbelly and who else and whoever gopher pops. Russia gets post-Assad Syria, but the dominant fighting force had been chosen by us. Guess the flaw there is President My Army gets to make that pick. Disregard. |
