ISIL Commander Killed in Clashes in Homs

Fierce clashes between two rival militant groups in Homs in Central Syria resulted in the death of a senior commander of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
“During clashes which took place between two militant groups in Al-Rastan town in Homs province Abu Al-Qaqa Al-Tunisi was killed,” a military source told the Syrian state news agency.

Two other terrorists were also killed along with Al-Tunisi during the same clashes.

After more than two years of fighting side-by-side and leading one of the bloodiest conflicts in the recent history of the Middle-East, al-Qaeda affiliated groups have been making increasing moves against each other in the last few months.

Militants in Syria have been committing numerous war crimes against people and Syrian army soldiers throughout the country during their bloody war.

Sources said the number of antigovernment combat factions has reached 1750, including the FSA, “ISIL, and other groups working for different agendas.

The conflict in Syria started in March 2011, when sporadic pro-reform protests turned into a massive insurgency following the intervention of western and regional states.

The unrest, which took in terrorist groups from across Europe, the Middle-East and North Africa, has transpired as one of the bloodiest conflicts in recent history.

As the foreign-backed insurgency in Syria continues without an end in sight, the US government has boosted its political and military support to Takfiri extremists.

Washington has remained indifferent to warnings by Russia and other world powers about the consequences of arming militant groups.
