Syria: Al-Nusra Front, Ahrar Al-Sham and Jund Al-Aziz form alliance to fight Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Deir Ezzur
Different parts of Deir Ezzur in Eastern Syria came to be the scene of fierce clashes between Ahrar Al-Sham, Al-Nusra Front, Jund Al-Aziz and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in the last several hours after the first three terrorist groups struck an alliance to wage an all-out war on the rival Al-Qaeda militant group.
The Al-Nusra Front, Ahrar Al-Sham and Jund Al-Aziz came into terms after a series of long negotiations in a move to be able to stand up to the ISIL, a rival Saudi-backed branch of the al-Qaeda terrorist group in Eastern Syria and Western Iraq.
