#1 AFAIK the ISIS/ISIL has made up + is now in aliance wid ex-deadly rival, but fellow Qaeda-affiliate AL-NUSRA.

I'm intrepreting this Artic to refer primarily to the other NON-NUSRA QAEDA AFFILIATES, e.g. AQAP/AQIY, AQIM, etc. [Boko Haram? AL-Shabab?]; + in second wid Ayman-the-Z-Man [Zawahiri] led "CORE" Al-QAEDA [Osama's group].
