Al-Qaeda faction Jabhat al-Nusra has confirmed that the suicide bomber who initially hit the wall of Aleppo prison at the start of last week’s protracted battle and jail break was Abu Suleiman al-Britani, a British citizen.
British officials told the BBC that the attacker was “probably British” and that they are still trying to identify him specifically, with MI5 leading an investigation in Sussex.
If confirmed, he is the first British citizen to carry out a suicide bombing during the Syrian Civil War. Britain is believed to have over 100 citizens inside Syria, mostly fighting for Islamist factions.
British officials say that other British jihadists engaged in torture and execution of prisoners. There is a major concern that citizens of EU nations like Britain will return home from the Syrian war with close ties to al-Qaeda and passports that will allow them access to virtually anywhere in the world to carry out bombings.
Interesting, Jason Ditz still call it Syrian civil war.
That's because they (the press and those who control the press) prefer to call these "civil wars" instead of the "religious wars" they are.
Two years ago when the syrian war was fresh we said that it is a religious war planed by Hillary Clinton but mostly acted by Saudis Sunni terrorirsm-mercenaries and therefore is not a civil war, a civil war is when the people are against one or other political standing, like the US civil war, Syrian war is a religious imposed wars, conducted, financed, orchestrated by the western Neo liberalism in cooperation with Saudis, the Qatari tyrant regime, the Turkish Sunni government and those Europeans kings and kingdoms family supporting Saudis tyrant regime like the Swedish king.
In the other hand, civil war sounds like the people of Syria that are at war and it is them that should be blamed for, "civil war" is a way clearing the name of Hillary Clinton, Obama, David Cameron, the German chenclor Angela Markell, the French, the Saudis and UAE in general, that they have nothing to do and never had anything to do but it was and still is the Syrian people killing each other. Meanwhile, nationalities as British, France, German, Danish, Swedish, Chechen and other Saudis financed barbarians entering Syria via turkey without Turkish government stoping them, in the contrary, they support these barbarians and their masters because turkey is a member of NATO and NATO is a militarism regime working on behalf of USG and EU colonial regimes. One more note: Turkey is in financial limbo since Syrian war started, the main investors in Turkey economic development, for last 10-15 years, is the money invested by Saudis and UAE, the Turkish government therefore is bound by their rules and are told what to do, not what they can. Before the war, Turkish and Syrians hade a billions of dollars in trade, now is zero.
Syrian war is not a civil war, is a proxy war, the religious elements are used by the western Neo liberals to militerize the entire Middle East, occupying countries from Lebanon to Pakistan paving the way for South Pacific and eventually war with china.
Humanity is lost in the Abyss. very dissapointing.
All the Westerners' terrorists flooding Syria – borderline idiots, thugs, jobless youth, coming from their wonderful capitalist democracies where life is so rewarding and fruitful that they have nothing better to do than line up for a chance to die in Syria for some religious extremist cause…probably the majority would not like to live under such a tyranny…paid for and armed by those other bastions of civic freedom, Saudi Arabia and Qatar and Jordan.

These stupid Arabs are once again convinced that they should be fighting each other instead of their common enemies.
Well, yes, but he was acting for our preferred al-Qaeda, which happens to be al-Zawahiri's preferred al-Qaeda, too, the Jabhat al-Nusra. The good al-Qaeda, the moderate al-Qaeda, that was one of the more moderate suicide bombings of recent times. Fully in line with our western values of democracy, civility and human rights, unlike the brutal Assad regime. The damned hippies and peaceniks didn't let us stand shoulder to shoulder with nature's noblemen like al-Britani, but we're working hard to ensure the failure of the negotiations so that our preferred al-Qaeda franchisee can control the street sale of baba ghanoush in Aleppo, a true triumph of western values. Soon Wal-Bazaars will spring up throughout the Middle East, bringing lower haggling every day!
I don't think I would call him British. In any case we should just stay out of it.
