| 2016-09-14 |
| [ALMASDARNEWS] A Chechen jihadist group known as "Jund al-Sham" announced on Tuesday that their forces are participating in the rebel offensive in the northern Hama countryside. Jund al-Sham originally operated in the Kurdish Mountains (Jabal al-Akrad) of northern Latakia and Jisr Shughour area of Idlib; however, the recent losses in the rebel ranks has forced them to come to the aid of their allies. In the statement released on Tuesday, Jund al-Sham admitted they played a role in the capture of Kawkab, a key town in the northern Hama countryside that the rebels were not able to capture until recently. The leader of this jihadist group is Murad Margoshvili (AKA "Moslem Abu Walid al-Shishani"), who is internationally sanctioned for his terrorist activities. |
