Syria: al Qaida kills 50 prisoners in Aleppo, activists say

Just like rats in a barrel. Only these are supposed humans killing each other in a fits of savagery and religious fanaticism. This is just the latest spasm of the 1,400 year old war between Sunni and Shia Muslims.  Frankly, the more they kill each other, the less energy they have to attack Western civilization.  Hopefully Western intelligence agencies are taking advantage of their blind hatred and are playing one side against the other.

Syria: al Qaida kills 50 prisoners in Aleppo, activists say.
ISIS under attack for days by local insurgents, including Al Nusra

(ANSAmed) - BEIRUT - Al Qaida militants have withdrawn over the past few hours from the main Syrian eastern city of Dayr az Zor in the region bordering with Iraq's western al Anbar area at the centre of clashes between Baghdad's government forces and al Qaida-linked insurgents, activists in Dayr az Zor said via Skype on Tuesday. They said last night members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) pulled out of the area after local rebels on Monday surrounded their headquarters in the city. The sources claimed ISIS, which has been under attack for days in the Syrian regions of Idlib, Aleppo and Raqqa, has now deployed outside Dayr az Zor.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights quoted local medical sources as saying that over 30 al Qaida militants died over the past few hours in the north-western region of Idlib in clashes between al Qaida fighters and local rebels. The dead militants are all reportedly non-Syrian members of ISIS.

Al Qaida militants have executed overnight 50 Syrian activists they had detained in Aleppo, activists in the northern Syrian city told ANSA on Tuesday in a Skype interview.
The prisoners were killed at a former eye hospital in Aleppo, the activists said.
