Dispute over Gasfield among Islamic rebel groups east Syria

Key Islamic rebel groups in Syria have appealed to the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and The Levant to solve a dispute over gasfield in Deir Zour province.

Ahrar al-Sham, Islam Army, Jabhat al-Nusrah and the Shariah Authority in a statement issued today asked Abu Baker al-Baghdadi, Emir of the ISIL, to order his militants to leave Konko gas field who expelled the other rebel groups, demanding him to send an envoy who can settle the case according to God's laws and his prophet's Sunnah.

Solving the dispute will avoid all parties any imminent clashes and will save the electricity supplies.   

In relevant development, Jabhat al-Nusra, al-Qaeda main branch in Syria captured last week Syria's largest oilfield, cutting off President Bashar al-Assad's access to almost all local crude reserves, activists said.

The loss of the al-Omar oil field in the eastern Deir Zour province, could leave Assad's forces almost completely reliant on imported oil in their highly mechanized military campaign to put down a 32-month long uprising, Al Jazeera reported.
