Fierce clashes break out between Turkish-backed rebel groups in eastern Aleppo
[ALMASDARNEWS] Heavy festivities broke out in the eastern Aleppo city of al-Bab on Thursday when two Ottoman Turkish-backed rebel groups exchanged hostilities.

According to a report from the Aleppo countryside, several members of the al-Hamza Divison and Sultan Murad Brigade were involved in a heavy exchange of gunfire in al-Bab, resulting in a number of casualties within the ranks of both rebel groups.

The reason for the infighting is still unknown at this time; however, the two groups have clashed in the past.

The Ottoman Turkish-backed rebels have been in control of al-Bab since 2016; they captured the city from the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
