"الدولة الاسلامية في العراق والشام" تحرز تقدما في الرقة شمال سوريا

They were, ISIL were welcomed with open arms at the start of this conflict, but when the FSA and the other Al Qaeda groups realized, that ISIL were more powerful than their own fighters, they started working against them, because the opposition is afraid that ISIL will take over if Assad falled.

1- very strange escape from sednaya and abu grayb since 2011
2- agreement on oil and some bases in the east
3- both fighting fsa
4- some places occupied for months by isis were never bombed, but since they lost positions last week and fsa retook it, it's bombed again
5-since 2009, maliki and us claiming assad train and arm isis
6-ID found on dead takfiris with alawite place of birth or iranian/russian visa

etc....

"One cannot rationally dissociate the Syrian regime from terrorism. Syria provides safe haven for a myriad of terrorist organizations, directs their operations, and uses occupied Lebanon as their main field of training and operation. Terrorist organizations do not stand on their own in terms
of identity; instead, they are proxies to regimes that provide them with financial means and an operational framework for their terrorist activities. The suggestion heard in some circles that these regimes can be charged with the task of dismantling terrorist organizations is the height of naiveté and folly. Furthermore, let's not forget that the clandestine nature of these regimes and organizations would allow them to quickly
and easily restructure and reemerge under completely new
aliases, ready to resume operations in full capacity."

Many international Al-Qaeda plots have Syrian links. The head of the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Groupe Islamique Combattant Marocain, which claimed responsibility for the suicide bombings in Casablanca in May 2003, trained in Syria.The prosecutor in the trial of the terrorists who attacked Madrid in 2004 suspects Groupe Islamique Combattant Marocain member Hassan el-Haski of involvement in the train bombings.In May 2004, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's lieutenants and, perhaps Zarqawi himself, held meetings on Syrian territory to plan terrorism in Iraq aimed at provoking sectarian violence.Syria harbored and refused to extradite Suleiman Khaled Darwish, Zarqawi's second-in-command and, reportedly, a liaison between Al-Qaeda and Syrian military intelligence. (He was finally killed in October 2008 in a U.S. raid on Syrian territory).

"The Assad regime sponsors terrorism because it is a regime based on terrorism. The advantages for the Assad regime to sponsor jihadists are many. They seek to use terrorists to defeat the United States in the region, thwart the development of democracies in Lebanon and Iraq, and to employ terror as a means of waging war against Israel. Outmatched by the weapons the West possesses, Syria repeatedly turns to unconventional means. Terror sponsorship also creates a dependency upon the Assad regime making it counterproductive for the forces of Islamic extremism to wage war against it. So long as Assad retains a tight grip on Syria, he need not fear these forces turning against him."

"Furthermore, let's not forget that the clandestine nature of
these regimes and organizations would allow them to quickly
and easily restructure and reemerge under completely new
aliases, ready to resume operations in full capacity.
Any perceived cooperation in the war on terrorism does not
represent a strategic choice on the part of the Syrian regime to
combat terrorism; it is only a tactical and temporary ploy to
dodge responsibility for the central role that Syria has had in
sponsoring terrorism during the last three decades."

but i guess in M8ers minds that assad stopped using these terrorists groups now all of a sudden in the wors moments of his reign! LOL

poor naive brainwashed blind hezbi follower sheep they are....

FT - there has always been a good level of collaboration in military operations between al nusra and some of the rebel groups. The relations were tense with ISIS since the beginning and especially since ISIS acted in a predatory fashion. In the Jihadist circles, there has always been a debate on the purpose of the Jihad: al-Nusra (nusrat al-mazloumeen and then a Da'wa) and the state (those who wants to impose their version an islamic state regardless the desire of the people). Al Nusra seem to belong to the first strand (time will tell) and ISIS to the second.
