This is the picture of Abu Khalid As-Suri, comrade of Usamah bin Ladin, `Abdullah `Azzam, and Ayman Adh-Dhawahiri, who was assassinated two days ago. Dhawhiri offically tasked him to resolve the dispute between Nusrah Front and ISIS. I noticed in the Western press they mentioned that he is the leader of Ahrar Ash-Sham without mentioning that it is a major constituent element of the Islamic Front, which the US has been elevating in status and treating as a moderate Islamist organization. There is even discussion of opening official talks between the US government and the Islamic Front, heavily favored by the Saudi regime.
