Multiple members of the TFSA group Liwa ‘Asifat al Shamal killed and wounded tonight near Azaz in clashes with the Afrin Liberation Forces

One of former senator John McCain’s pet anti-Assad groups, the Northern Storm Brigade formed in 2011 from a group of smugglers in the city of Azaz in northern Syria that controlled the Bab al-Salam border crossing. They folded in the face of ISIS expansion, fleeing to Turkey. Now they’re part of Turkey’s irregulars, the so-called Free Syrian Army, but that clearly hasn’t given them the backbone to stand up against the local Kurds, either.
