From Basim: "More support for your argument. Now
with "two Nusrahs" on the field, war crimes commissioned by any of the armed
gangs (and the regime) can be excused:
The most feared and effective rebel
group battling President Bashar al-Assad, the Islamist Nusra Front, is being
eclipsed by a more radical jihadi force whose aims go far beyond overthrowing
the Syrian leader. Al Qaeda's Iraq-based wing, which nurtured Nusra in the early
stages of the rebellion against Assad, has moved in and sidelined the
organization, Nusra sources and other rebels say.
"Nusra is now two Nusras. One that is pursuing al Qaeda's agenda of a
greater Islamic nation, and another that is Syrian with a national agenda to
help us fight Assad," said a senior rebel commander in Syria who has close ties
to the Nusra Front."
