Rival rebels in border town reach reconciliation agreement

Abu Abd al-Rahim al-Kuwaiti, al-Qaeda-linked group leader in Azaz, the border town with Turkey, said via social media The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham with Liwa'a al-Tawhid have signed a reconciliation agreement.

The latest settlement between the two parties comes as a response to the mounting power of ISIS in Azaz and the recent skirmishes between their fighters.

ISIS has expelled the North Storm rebels from Azaz and Parsaia Mountain where al-Tawhid brigade considered a close ally to the 'Storm' rebels.

The truce seems to be more pragmatic to save the bloodshed, analysts say.
