Syria - Commander of Al-Nusra Front Killed


This morning, the death of a key figure within Syria's Al-Nusra Front (also known as: Jabhat al-Nusra جبهة النصرة) has been reported by Al-Arabiya. In their fight against the Assad regime, the Al-Nusra Front is considered to be affiliated to Al-Qaeda organization as represented by Ayman al-Zawahiri. At the same time, it is seen in opposition with the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), even though an ideological link between both organizations cannot be denied. However, it is still unclear who was behind the death of commander Abu Hamam.
