Al Qaeda splinter group tortured to death Suqour Al Sham commander in Al Shaer, Homs

Al Qaeda splinter group the State of Iraq an al-Sham has tortured to death a prominent commander of Suqour al-Sham brigades in Badiyat al-Shaer in Homs province, despite the newly truce between ISIS and Suqour al-Sham Brigades two weeks ago.  

Abu Hussein al-Deek, who was arrested two days ago by ISIS, has been found dead with torture signs on his body according to Suqour al-Sham rebel fighter.

It’s a clear breach for the truce by ISIS which does not respect the covenants and conventions, activists said .

The reconciliation accord in al-Shaer called for “an immediate halt to fighting between the sides and no assault by either side on the other in any way, according to The Victorious Party In the Land of Ash-Sham, pro-ISIS Facebook page. It also urges that any disagreements between the groups be referred to an Islamic court.

While ISIS was once welcomed by rebels battling Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, excessive abuses by the group turned much of the opposition against them.

More than 2000 people, mostly fighters, died in 50 days fighting between rebels and ISIS, since three massive rebel alliances declared war against ISIS early January.

 Analyst Daneil Abdallah said in a paper published was by Syria Comment that ISIS had arrested members of many rebel groups, it had torture many of those and killed quite a few. The immediate result of the initial onslaught against ISIS was the expulsion of ISIS from most of Idlib province as well as from the city of Aleppo and its rural areas.

Syria's nearly three-year conflict began as popular protests against four decades of Assad family rule but changed into armed insurgency under a security force crackdown.

Now the major Arab state is in a full-scale civil war that has killed more than 140,000 people and forced over 6 million - more than a quarter of the population - to flee their homes.
