| [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Unidentified turbans kidnapped a U.S.-backed rebel commander near a town that has been encircled by 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.... in the northern Aleppo province, rebel source said. Lieutenant Mohammed Khalil, the military commander of al-Mou'tasem Brigade, was kidnapped in Darret Ezza town as he was heading the nearby town of Marea, said Mustafa Seijari, head of the brigade's political office. On Thursday, the U.S. jets air-dropped weapons to al-Mou'tasem Brigade in Marea. Such an aid helped rebels to thwart ISIS attack. Some rebel factions have accused Khalil, who received training by the American army, of betrayal due to his collaboration with Washington in his war against ISIS in Marea town. ISIS has cut rebel supply lines from Azaz to the town of Marea farther southeast, isolating the latter from other rebel-held areas. The ultra-hardline group has been fighting against rebels in the area for several months. The rebels, who are supplied via ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... , last month staged a major push against Islamic State, but the group counter-attacked and beat them back. |
