ISIL repels FSA, regains control of town near Turkish border

22 Oct 2013 - 10:57


TEHRAN (FNA)- The Al-Qaeda-linked militants defeated the armed rebels of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) in an all-out raid and took full control of a strategic town in Reef (outskirts of) Aleppo in Northwestern Syria near the border with Turkey.


The terrorists of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) drove out the FSA militants from their bastions in Al-Bab town in Reef Aleppo after fierce clashes.

Dozens of militants have been killed and dozens more injured during the fire exchanges between the two sides.

After more than two years of fighting side-by-side and leading one of the bloodiest conflicts in the recent history of Middle-East, the FSA and al-Qaeda affiliated groups have been making some moves against each other following reports of West’s alleged concerns over sending more arms to Syria and possibility of them falling into the hands of terrorists.

Analysts say West’s pressures for opening a way to send arms to militants in Syria and not the terrorists is actually differentiating the anti-Syria armed groups to “good terrorists” and “bad terrorists”.

Free Syrian Army leaders have acknowledged that the fighting between their brigades and extremist rivals has reached a critical stage.
