2018-01-30
[ALMASDARNEWS] Follow up information just released by opposition sources regarding a huge car kaboom that took place in the southwestern Syrian province of Daraa on Monday reveals that a top regional commander for the al-Qaeda affiliate group Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra

) has been killed in the blast.

Early on Monday, an unknown party carried out a powerful car kaboom against the al-Rubaii rebel checkpoint base in eastern Daraa province that was manned at the time by both Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham and Free Syrian Army

fighters.

According to the latest reports, at least ten Syrian murderous Moslems have been killed and another 20 maimed as a result of the bombing.

However among the dead is a very high-ranking rebel leader, one Abu Hamza Ghadiyah, a Jordanian national who was (until his very recent departure) Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham’s commander for all of southern Syria; four of his personal bodyguards were also killed in the attack.

#2  Not in Syria, Skidmark. ISIS, perhaps, or one of the many Salafist or Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups. I gave up trying to keep track of them long ago. Fred's translator helps, but he only tagged the major ones.
