HT to weazel zippers!
Syrian army forces have killed Adnan al-Haj Ali better known as Abi Mohammd Joulani, leader of al-Nusra Front in Syria, announced a Syrian opposition source affiliated with Ahfad bani Omaiya in Rif, Damascus.

Al-Alam News Channel quoted the source as telling LebanonÂ’s Asia News Agency that al-Joulani has many names, but his real name is Bob from Toledo Adnan Al-Haj Ali from Quneitra.

His military name has been allotted to a number of people for security reasons in an attempt to prevent the disclosure of the Front present commanderÂ’s identity. The al-Nusra Front is organizationally under the command of al-Qaeda in Iraq.
"I am Spartacus!"
"No, I am Spartacus!"
"No, I am...."

Reports had it that al-Haj Ali and his Syrian deputy Mostafa Al-Badawi have been killed in an air attack by a Syrian MiG fighter jet.
"Ouch!"
