| [ARA] Subsequent to the emergence of rifts in the ranks of the 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group (IS/ISIS), during which internal festivities broke out between the IS foreign and local fighters in the IS-held city of al-Bab in Aleppo countryside, activists linked to the Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... (FSA) in the city were able to help prisoners escape from the group's detentions, military sources reported on Tuesday. Speaking to ARA News on the phone, Abu Malek al-Babi, commander of Liwaa al-Tawheed of the FSA, said that the FSA-linked "sleeper cells" have freed dozens of prisoners from the IS detention centers in the city of al-Bab in Aleppo province. "Those cells had been waiting for such a proper time to work on freeing our prisoners," the source added, pointing out that following the IS internal conflict (between local and foreign jihadists), the FSA members in the city infiltrated into one of the detentions to help prisoners escape. Abu Malek also pointed out that the group was holding about 300 fighters from different factions of the FSA, in addition to a number of civilians. "Our activists were in the IS-held city for months, preparing to carry out this mission. However, some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... they were not able to free all the prisoners," he told ARA News. The Islamic State's snuffies have reportedly transferred the remaining detainees in al-Bab to the central prison of Manbij city in Aleppo countryside, following the escape of dozens others on Tuesday. |
