| [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Al Qaeda's Syria wing, the Nusra Front, with other three rebel groups operating in eastern Qalamoun have formed their own version of Fatah Army as fighting with ISIS enters new stage after Palmyra takeover where the hardline group is pressing hard to seize control of Syria desert and Qalamoun region, activists said on Thursday. Ahrar al-Sham ...a Syria jihadi group made up of Islamists and salafists, not that there's that much difference, formed into a brigade. They make up the main element of the Islamic Front but they don't profess adoration of al-Qaeda and they've been fighting (mainly for survival) against the Islamic State. Their leadership was wiped out at a single blow by a suicide kaboom at a crowded basement meeting in September, 2014... , Ahmed al-Abdo Gathering and Islam Army refused to join the new alliance while Jaysh Tahrir al-Sham, Rejal al-Malahem, Mujahedi al-Baddiya joind the Nusra Front. Army of Fatah, a reference to the conquests that spread Islam across the Middle East from the seventh century, has seized swathes of territory northern Syrian since late of March 2015 including Idlib city, Jisr al-Shughour and Ariha towns. Two days ago, Nusra Front, in statement posted online, urged rebel groups in Eastern Ghouta suburbs near Damascus to form Ghouta's version of Fatah Army, like what Nusra did in Idlib province and Qalamoun region. Meanwhile, ...back at the cheese factory, there was only one thought in the mouse's mind: I can do this! I can do this!Then the trap sprung... festivities between ISIS and Islamist groups are still underway to control the strategic region of Qalamoun that will enable the Islamic State ...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.... to open a supply route for besieged fighters in western Qalamoun on the Lebanese border. |
