Tajik authorities are investigating a video purporting to show a Tajik jihadist in Syria, identified as Nusrat Nazarov, along with 21 other fighters. In the video, Nazarov denounces prominent Tajik mullah Hoji Mirzo Ibronov, who has said there is no holy war in Syria. Nearly 200 Tajiks are thought to have gone to Syria to fight, and some are known to have joined al Qaeda-linked groups there, including the Al Nusrah Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham.
