Jihadists in Middle East Turn on Each Other

.:Middle East Online:::.

"Speaking from Albu Kamal on the Iraq border, Hussein said ISIL seeks to crush Al-Nusra Front, Al-Qaeda's Syria affiliate, and control the eastern, energy-rich province of Deir Ezzor bordering Iraq.

"ISIL are trying to end Al-Nusra Front's power in the area, and if they do they will take over" the whole province, he said.

ISIL's long-time ambition of creating an area under its control stretching across Syria and Iraq was undermined by a massive January offensive against it by rival Islamist rebels."
