Al-Qaeda merges with former US supplied rebel forces in Syria
2017-01-29
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian al-Qaeda group "Jabhat Fateh al-Sham
...formerly al-Nusra, the current false nose and mustache of al-Qaeda in the Levant...
" (formerly al-Nusra
...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-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) announced the formation of a new rebel force that will merge their organization with other rebel factions in Syria.

Five rebel factions, including Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, agreed to disband and form a new group that will be called "Hey'sah Tahrir al-Sham" (Levant Liberation Body).

The disbanded rebel factions include Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, Harakat Nouriddeen al-Zinki, Liwaa al-Haq, Liwaa Ansar al-Deen, and Jaish al-Sunnah; these groups originally participated in several battles in northern Syria before disbanding this weekend.

The leader of this new jihadist organization will be "Abu Jaber Hashem al-Sheikh," the statement added.

It's important to note that Harakat Nouriddeen al-Zinki was once supplied with U.S. manufactured anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM) before being declared "non-moderates" by the U.S. regime.

It would have been a viable plan some five (actually, five and a half)years ago, had there been a D.C. regime with foresight and initiative.


If anyone could find "moderate" Muslims. All the ones I've seen called that just turn out to be the patient ones.

Cartographers? Chroniclers, chartless,
Asea, citing say-so, so artless!
Sand, storms always brewing,
Sad shipwreck, and ruin...
The currents of history are heartless.
