“‘We announce good news to the Islamic nation, of the killing of one of the leaders of unbelief, General Hussein Yaqoub Ishaq, head of the Air Defense Administration in Mleiha,’ the Islamic Front said in a statement.  Assad’s family is from Syria’s Alawite minority, who mostly support the president, and many Christians also back him, fearing the increasingly radicalized Sunni Muslim rebels. The rebels who took over Tel Malah included fighters from the Nusra Front – al Qaeda’s official branch in Syria – the Islamic Front.  Assad is now preparing for a presidential election which is widely expected to extend his 14-year rule for another seven-year term.”
