Dozens of Al-Qaeda, Free Syrian Army rebels left dead, injured in southwest Syria after huge car bomb strikes base
2018-01-30
[ALMASDARNEWS] A huge car kaboom carried out by an unknown party has left at least two dozen Syrian rebels belonging to both al-Qaeda and opposition groups dead and maimed after it struck a checkpoint base in the country’s southwest.

According to developing reports, a car kaboom has been unleashed against a murderous Moslem checkpoint base area manned by fighters of the both the al-Qaeda affiliate group Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham
(formerly Jabhat 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 .. ...
) and the Free Syrian Army
... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund...
in the province of Daraa.

The jointly-manned checkpoint area known as al-Rubaii is located near the town of al-Masifrah in the eastern countryside of Daraa.

The boom-mobile kaboom was so powerful as to have killed and injured at least two dozen rebels.

Although it remains unknown at the present time which party carried out the attack, it is worth noting that the al-Rubaii checkpoint use to serve as detachment point for two Free Syrian Army groups that have recently descended into a state of war with one another ‐ indicating that a rival opposition group may be responsible.

The second possibility is that the attack was carried out by elements loyal to the so-called 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
