[ALMASDARNEWS] An al-Qaeda branch in Syria has recently merged their group with another jihadist faction to form a new terrorist legion in the northern part of country.

According to a statement from Tanzim Hurras al-Deen, their organization has merged with another jihadist group, Ansar al-Tawhid (formerly Jund al-Aqsa), to form a new legion called "Nusret Islam."

Tanzim Hurras al-Deen is led by Abu Hammam al-Shami, who was also a former member of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham
Shami would leave Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham with many of its members to form this al-Qaeda linked group in northern Syria.
