Qaeda-Linked Insurgents Clash With Other Rebels in Syria

“Deadly clashes were reported Friday in northern Syria between Sunni Islamist jihadists linked to Al Qaeda and insurgents in other alliances.  The rebels call themselves the Mujahedeen Army, and they resent what they see as the affiliate’s hijacking of their struggle, now nearly three years old, to depose President Bashar al-Assad.  The Mujahedeen Army also issued a statement in Arabic on Facebook essentially announcing that it now considered the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria an enemy.  Another alliance of rebels, called the Islamic Front, issued a statement denouncing what it called a series of crimes committed by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.”
