Al-Nusra attacks headquarters of US-backed rebel group in northern Syria
2015-08-01
[FOXNEWS] U.S.-backed rebels say members of al-Qaeda's branch in Syria have launched an attack on their command headquarters, killing at least five fighters and wounding more than a dozen.

A statement issued in the name of the U.S.-backed group, known as Division 30, said its fighters prevented Nusra Front gunnies from storming their head office.

The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Friday's fighting was concentrated south of the Syrian town of Azaz on the border with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
The group added that warplanes believed to be from the U.S.-led coalition attacked Nusra Front positions in the area.
Nah, we only fly twice a day...
Nusra Front's attack came two days after the holy warriors kidnapped the leader of Division 30 and seven of his men.

Division 30 said five of its fighters were killed and 18 were maimed.
An Nahar adds that the honours were equal:
Al-Nusra Front unleashed its offensive on the base of the Division 30 unit in northern Aleppo province, a monitor said, sparking festivities and air raids by a U.S.-led coalition that killed at least 18 of the jihadists.

#1  The capture of several of US trained group by Al Qaeda followed by a confession by one of those trained that they were to attack Al Qaeda, not just ISIS. (Shocking comment from Obama Regimes American officials in Washington who said they were surprised that Al Qaeda would not cooperate with them who talked openly with a foreign language news outlet. Obviously the Obama regime does not believe Americans is listening to foreign news outlets while they have control of most US news outlets.)
