BEIRUT: An alliance of seven Islamist rebel militias has accused the hard-line jihadists from the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) of being “worse than the Assad regime,” after the latest outrage against a fellow jihadist.
ISIS militants were blamed this week for the kidnapping and killing of Hussein al-Suleiman, a physician who was also a commander in the Ahrar al-Sham militia.
Ahrar al-Sham is one of the country’s biggest rebel groups, and is a member of the Islamic Front alliance along with six other militias, most of which enjoy a nationwide presence.
