| [IsraelTimes] Al-Qaeda is using US-led coalition ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group, saying the two should stop feuding and join forces to attack Western targets -- a reunification that intelligence analysts say would allow al-Qaeda to capitalize on the younger group's ruthless advance across the region. Analysts are closely watching al-Qaeda's repeated overtures, and while a full reconciliation is not expected soon -- if ever -- there is evidence the two groups have curtailed their infighting and are cooperating on the Syrian battlefield, according to activists on the ground, US officials and experts who monitor jihadi messages. |

| #1 AFAIK the ISIS/ISIL has made up + is now in aliance wid ex-deadly rival, but fellow Qaeda-affiliate AL-NUSRA. I'm intrepreting this Artic to refer primarily to the other NON-NUSRA QAEDA AFFILIATES, e.g. AQAP/AQIY, AQIM, etc. [Boko Haram? AL-Shabab?]; + in second wid Ayman-the-Z-Man [Zawahiri] led "CORE" Al-QAEDA [Osama's group]. |
