Nusra Front Threatens Retaliation Against US-Led Anti-IS Coalition
2014-09-28
[Ynet] After US warplanes hit Nusra Front positions as well, the al-Qaeda-linked group vows attack against Western and Arab countries that took part in airstrikes, saying 'It's not a war against Nusra Front, it's a war against Islam.'

The al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front on Saturday denounced US-led air strikes on Syria, saying they amounted to a war against Islam and vowing to retaliate against Western and Arab countries that took part.

"We are in a long war.
Assuming y'all survive the short war, of course.
This war will not end in months nor years, this war could last for decades," the group's spokesman Abu Firas al-Suri said.

"It's not a war against Nusra Front, it's a war against Islam," he added in an audio message published on the group's social media network, its first reaction since the launch of the US-led strikes on Tuesday.

#1  The Battle of Lepanto (1571) and the Siege of Vienna, ending September 11, 1683 were other battles in the "long war".
