Ahrar al-Sham kills senior army officer in Damascus
[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] 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... Islamic movement on Saturday has killed a senior regime army officer by an bomb planted near his car in Damascus, the dominant rebel group said in statement. The Salafist group gave no further details over the attack that killed Brigadier General Raeef Ali al-Hasan and his aide in al-Abbaseen square. Meanwhile, ...back at the wine tasting, Vince was about to start on his third quart... a ceasefire in a Syrian town near the Lebanese border and in two villages to the north has broken down after renewed heavy shelling, Rooters said on Saturday. The truce between the regime army and the Lebanese group Hezbollah on the one side, and Syrian forces of Evil on the other, came into effect on Thursday in the western town of Zabadani and the Shi'ite Moslem villages of Kefraya and al-Foua in the northwest.
