Free Syrian Army units ally with al Qaeda, reject Syrian National Coalition, and call for sharia
Several large Free Syrian Army and Islamist brigades as well as the Al Nusrah Front called for the imposition of sharia in Syria and rejected the US-backed Syrian National Coalition.
The al Qaeda-linked group claimed it carried out joint operations with the Ahrar al Sham Brigades and Suqur al Sham. Al Nusrah has now claimed credit for 34 of the 42 suicide attacks that have been recorded in Syria since December 2011.
