Rival groups clash in Syria's rebel-packed Idlib
2017-07-16
[AlAhram] Clashes have broken out in northwestern Syria between two of the most powerful Lion of Islam groups there raising fears of widespread violence in the rebel-held province of Idlib, the groups and an opposition monitor said Saturday.

The fighting between the ultraconservative Ahrar al-Sham
...a Syria jihadi group made up of Islamists and salafists, not that there's that much difference, formed into a brigade. They make up the main element of the Islamic Front but they don't profess adoration of al-Qaeda and they've been fighting (mainly for survival) against the Islamic State. Their leadership was wiped out at a single blow by a suicide kaboom at a crowded basement meeting in September, 2014...
and the al-Qaeda-linked Hay'at Tahrir al Sham -- Arabic for Levant Liberation Committee -- that is also known as HTS, are the first serious acts of violence since both sides reached a truce in February. Wider festivities between the two former allies could affect their fight against Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad

Now that would be pay-per-view.
