| [AnNahar] A Lebanese al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli sh-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front member was found dead in the outskirts of the northeastern border town of Arsal on Monday amid fierce festivities between the Qaeda-linked group and jihadists from 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.... organization, the National News Agency reported. Lebanese national Majed Mohammed Abdulmajid al-Hujeiri, aka Abou al-Barae, was killed in battles between al-Nusra and the IS, NNA said. His corpse has been lying in the outskirts since Sunday evening when the battles erupted between the two groups, the agency added. "Hujeiri belonged to the terrorist group of al-Nusra and has been residing in the town. He was part of the group of Abou Taqiyeh," it pointed out. Islamist holy man Mustafa al-Hujeiri, aka Abou Taqiyeh, was indicted and nabbed ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... in 2014 on charges of belonging to al-Nusra Front with the aim of carrying out terrorist acts. On Monday afternoon, NNA said fierce festivities were underway between al-Nusra and the IS in the outskirts of Arsal and Ras Baalbek and that light- and heavy-caliber weapons were being used. The fighting has left "a large number of Death Eaters from both sides dead or maimed," the agency said. It said the festivities erupted when the IS group launched a dawn attack on al-Nusra's posts in the outskirts of Arsal and Ras Baalbek, killing and wounding several of the Qaeda-linked groups's bad boys. The IS "summarily executed some bad boys, including prominent officials," NNA said. "In response, large groups from al-Nusra Front, led by Abou Malek al-Talli, waged a counter-attack after calling in reinforcements," the agency added, noting that the Qaeda-linked group was trying to recapture posts it lost in the areas of al-Zamarani, al-Ajram, Qurnat al-Hashishat, al-Malahi and Wadi Shbib. Ever since the Syrian revolt erupted in March 2011, Arsal has served as a key conduit for refugees, Death Eaters and maimed people fleeing strife-torn Syria. Jihadists from al-Nusra and the Islamic State group are entrenched in the town's outskirts. In August 2014, they stormed the town and engaged in bloody battles with the Lebanese army following the arrest of a senior IS bad boy. The jihadists withdrew after a ceasefire, but took with them several dozen hostages from the army and police, four of whom have since been executed. Al-Nusra freed 16 servicemen in December 2015 in a swap deal with the Lebanese government that involved the release of Islamists and women from Leb's jails. Nine soldiers remain in the captivity of the IS. |
