Al Qaeda fighters in Syria kill rival rebel leader
Syrian activists say Al Qaeda fighters have killed the military leader of a rival Islamic brigade in a twin car bombing near the northern city of Aleppo, an attack likely to further exacerbate rebel infighting.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Saturday that the Al Qaeda linked Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant killed 26 people in the Saturday attack, near the base of a rival rebel group.
The Syrian rebel group, known as the Tawheed Brigades, confirmed the attack on Twitter, saying in an interview they posted that their number three commander, Adnan Bakour was killed.
