#3 arrested sounds like what gov'ts do.

Is AQ the sovereign in that area? How does their sovereignty align with Pencil Neck and ISIS?

Could this mess get anymore random?

#4 AQ was notified, possibly by the US, that the trained group was about to enter the area to fight ISIS and not them. Within one hour they were captured.

Dunno. If Jobhunt al-Nusra or any team in the Not-Assad Conference, they might be a bit concerned about all the money Obama is freeing up for Iran therefore the Pro-Assad Conference.

Of course, there is the theory that all these teams were storefronts for US arms and training so that we were not seen directly supporting AQ wink wink.
