Washington places KTJ on terrorism list


IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – US designated on Monday Katibat al Tawhid wal Jihad (KTJ) which fights alongside Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS, formerly al-Nusra Front) and cooperates with other designated terrorist groups in northwest Syria as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) pursuant to Executive Order 13224.

The KTJ entered to the Syrian territory in mid-2012 with the goal to fight the Syrian government forces, exclusive source told North Press.

KTJ worked independently for years before joining the fight alongside HTS that spread its power over Idlib and other parts in the countryside of Hama, Aleppo and Latakia, according to the sources.

The sources noted that the number of members of the KTJ ranks between 800 and 1000 lead by a foreigner known as Jundallah al-Uzbeki.

Most of the members are Uzbeks and Tajiks who mainly deploy in al-Ghab Plain west of Hama and Jabal al-Akrad north of Latakia, according to the sources.

The KTJ receives special support by parties outside Syria, but nowadays it is receiving direct support by the HTS after it has come under its command and fought alongside it, according to the same sources.
