[An Nahar] The dead body of an Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi.

Hussam Trad, aka Abou Bakr al-Qari, was found sustaining a gunshot wound to his head, NNA added.

Al-Qari was killed five days ago by an Islamic State bully boy over conflicts among the ranks of the group group against the backdrop of their battles with al-Nusra

Early this year, fierce festivities broke out between al-Nusra Front and the IS rival jihadist groups in the outskirts of Arsal, leaving several faceless myrmidons dead and maimed from both groups.

The festivities erupted after the IS tried to control positions of al-Nusra.

Armed groups have taken positions in the outskirts of Arsal since the 2014 battles with the Lebanese army after the former tried to control military positions in the town.
