(Zaman Al Wasl)- Founder of the Free Syrian Army, Riad Al Asaad, disclosed that many rebel factions fought with Nusra Front to expel Syria Revolutionaries' Front from Idlib province in response to the amounting abuses of the ‘corrupted group,’ according to statement posted online.
Al-Asaad’s statements came to confirm what Abu Mohammad Al-Joulani, leader of al-Qaeda Syria’s wing, said on Tuesday in radio interview with Nusra’a affiliate media outlet.
Last week, Nusra Front backed by other hardline rebel groups waged a major military campaign against the Syria Revolutionaries' Front led by Jamal Maarouf, after accusing him of being corrupt and working for the West against them, Reuters said.
The Nusra Front captured several villages in the Jabal al-Zawiya region of Idlib province and on Saturday it entered the village of Deir Sonbol, the stronghold of the Revolutionaries' Front, forcing Maarouf to pull out.
The Syria Revolutionaries' Front is one of the biggest groups in the Western and Saudi-backed opposition to Bashar al-Assad.
