Jihadist rivals fight in east, leave 63 dead
2014-05-06
[Beirut Daily Star] Fighting between rival jihadist groups in eastern Syria killed 63 people Monday, despite a call from Al-Qaeda's chief for a cease-fire, the Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

The festivities between Al-Qaeda's Syrian branch the Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) have prompted 60,000 people to flee towns in the province.

The Observatory, a group of activists, said 58 fighters on both sides had been killed in the festivities Monday, along with five civilians.

The deaths bring to 150 the toll since the latest confrontation between the groups erupted last week in Deir al-Zor, bordering Iraq.

It comes after Islamist and moderate rebels eventually joined by Nusra launched an offensive against ISIS in early January. The fighting has killed around 4,000 people, according to the Observatory.
