Al-Qaeda’s Syria faction, Jabhat al-Nusra, has declared “all-out war” against the Hazm Movement, one of the US-armed rebel factions affiliated with the Free Syrian Army (FSA).
Nusra has been targeting US-backed groups as a way of retaliating against US airstrikes in the nation which have targeted them, and they’ve routed the FSA forces out of almost all of the Idlib Province.
The Hazm Movement was the faction that became the first to publicly confirm receiving anti-tank missiles from the CIA, and has been closely affiliated to some Islamist groups, in addition to the FSA.
Nusra, by contrast, has been mostly independent in its operations in recent months, expanding its territory in the northwest, while also clashing with Hezbollah over territory in the Syrian portion of Golan.

Empire builders — Blood sucking vampires
What Western engineered terrorism is all about, our exploding bombs to start a war, then making sure that both sides have an over abundance of killing machines so that perpetual death and destruction can ensue. For Empire expansion is possible only when an ocean of blood flows red.
You said it.
This pre-planned AmeriKan clusterf_ck grows exponentially.
The maintaining of wars we are not interested in winning has become so painfully obvious.
But, as Bush said on March 9 2003, the whole purpose was to divide Iraq into three pieces, a plan that you and the neocons endorse. Don't forget that Iran partisans and Israeli partisans are on exactly the same page regarding Iraq.
The Israeli-occupied Golan is also Syrian. Just ask the Druze Arabs who are allowed to remain there.
