The AP, which spoke with high-ranking Syrian opposition officials and a rebel commander who were familiar with the plan laid out by ISIS and Al-Qaeda, was able to determine that seven militant leaders were present at the late-night meeting, which was held in the town of Atareb. ISIS sent one representative to the meeting and two were from the Nusra Front. Khorasan Group (Al-Qaeda,) Jund al-Aqsa (ISIS loyalists) and Ahrar al-Sham, which the AP described as a “conservative Muslim rebel group,” also sent representatives.
The Nusra Front, the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda, has previously fought with ISIS for control of the region. In working together, the two terrorist organizations will first join forces to attack Kurdish soldiers in areas of northern Syria, the report said.
