last month reported that "terrorists" had assassinated Dr. Anas Abdul Razak, the governor of Hama, with a boom-mobile.
No one immediately grabbed credit for the attack, but the finger was pointed at Nusra which is active in the area.
The bully boy group, which in April pledged allegiance to al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri, said it monitored Abdul Razak's movements for a month before it struck, SITE reported.
The group - which is deemed a terrorist organization by the United States - said it set a boom-mobile by the side of the road to detonate when Abdul Razak's convoy passed on August 25, according to an English translation provided by SITE.
"After, one of the heads of the criminal regime, the governor Anas (Abdul Razak) Na'em, would fall along with several of his colleagues, and all praise and gratitude are due to Allah," it added.
It said Abdul Razak had participated in what it said was Assad's crimes against Sunni Musselmens in Syria but gave no details.
Nusra leader Abu Mohammad al-Golani last month said it would target communities of Assad's Alawite minority with rockets in Dire Revenge™ for an alleged chemical attack near Damascus.
The United States is pushing for a mandate from Congress to launch military strikes against Assad's forces over the attack. Damascus had denied responsibility for the attack.
SITE also said in a separate email that more than eight anti-Assad bully boy groups, including the al-Ghoutah Martyrs Battalion, Mustafa Habib Brigades and 'Issa bin Maryam Battalion said they oppose Western military intervention in Syria calling such a move a "new aggression" against Musselmens.
