UN Paid Al-Nusra Front $25 Million To Release Fijian Peacekeeper Hostages - Video

A video that has surfaced, allegedly filmed by Israeli Channel 2, purportedly shows the release of some U.N. Fijian peacekeepers that had been abducted by Syria's Jabhat al-Nusra (Nusra Front) on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights.  The al-Qaeda affiliated terrorists had demanded $25 million for the release of 45 peacekeepers, and the U.N. willingly complied- using Qatari money- in spite of a mandate to not "succumb to blackmail."

In the video, it appears that the UNDOF arrived on the scene first, entering from the Israeli side of the Golan Heights. A short time later, the Nusra Front convoy arrives. Then we see what appears to be a Nusra Front official checking his laptop to make sure the money was transferred to their bank account. Then the transfer of hostages begins.

One of the Israeli Channel 2 reporters, from the other side of a border gate, asks in English an "Abu Omar" what he thinks of Israel. He replies, "our goal is peace at the end of the day, with all nations of the world."

Sure, under a global Islamic State.

And they want Israel's help with establishing a no-fly zone.

This is how the terrorists maintain power, they are well funded by fools who pay ransoms.

Jihadist Groups Killing Each Other In Syria- Thousands of Civilians Flee

Here's some good news out of Syria: the various al-Qaeda affiliated jihadist groups are turning on each other. Fighting has escalated in Deir Ezzor province in the East between Al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) resulting in the death of around 230 fighters.

100,000 or so civilians have had to flee because of the fighting, but hopefully the militants will off each other and leave the civilians in peace.

The rest here.

Al-Nusra Front Video Shows Prepping Execution of Saudis

Al-Nusra Front jihadists fighting in Syria have just uploaded another video to YouTube showing the usual 'pre-execution' formalities of two men.  You know, all that jabbering about whatever crime the soon-to-be dead are guilty of before the customary allahu akbars, and subsequent execution. Since the men are uniformed you might think they're Bashar al-Assad's men, since the rebels are supposedly there fighting the regime. But in this case, the men were actually Saudis who were fighting with al-Nusra before supposedly switched to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), another al-Qaeda-linked group.

According to Al Arabiya, the executioner (gun in hand) recites some verses from the Quran,  mentions the ages and birthplaces of the men, and then accuses them of "betraying" al-Nusra. The video ends before they are executed, at least on the video Al Arabiya posted on its website.

Apparently, al-Nusra and ISIS are now also fighting each other. There are so many different foreign jihadist groups in Syria, maybe they'll just kill each other off. I say have at it boys.

Kill All Infidels Including Obama and World Leaders: Syrian School Boys Told By Al-Qaeda Rebels

The latest from MEMRI.

Al-Qaeda indoctrinating Syrian school boys with hate for all infidels. And what should they do with infidels, including Christians , Obama, the president of Russia and China, in fact anyone who is not a true Muslim, because Bashar al-Assad and all Alawites are also considered Kuffars?  Slaughter them all.

Al-Qaeda Linked Jihadists Execute Syrian Opposition

Truthloader has a video alleging that members of the jihadist Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS)- one of the many al-Qaeda linked groups fighting in Syria- executed seven so-called moderate opposition fighters from the Ghurabaa al-Sham Brigade, including their Commander Hassan Jazera. Jazera was accused of looting and being corrupt, but who knows what the truth is. The Ghurabaa al-Sham Brigade have been fighting from the start.  They just like to kill.

Check out video here.

Then of course you have the jihadists who accidentally beheaded one of their own. Oops. That time it was two foreign fighters with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) who beheaded Mohammed Marroush, a jihadist with the Ahrah al-Sham Brigade. Ahrah al-Sham is supposedly an ally of ISIL. A Tunisian was arrested by ISIL for mistaking Marroush for a Shiite Bashar al-Assad fighter, and subsequently chopping off his head. The other guilty party, from the Gulf, remains free.

Jihadists Chop Down 150-Year-Old Tree In Syria

Atme has been a Free Syrian Army (FSA) stronghold fighting Bashar al-Assad's forces for a while, but jihadists from the Islamic State of Iraq in the Levant (ISIL) have just taken control. This does not sit well with local FSA fighters, like Abu Leila ,who want nothing to do with the jihadists, but seem at a loss to prevent the inevitable takeovers that are happening in rebel held regions of Syria.

According to Leila ISIL:

“have taken over Atme... They have set up checkpoints across the town." [snip] "Atme was oxygen for the (rebel) Free Syrian Army. ”  Atme was being used  “as an entry point for everything from weapons to food, and as an exit point for the wounded” into Turkey’s hospitals, said Abu Leila.

And wherever the jihadists go they bring their supreme ignorance with them.

There was a a 150-year-old oak tree standing next to an ancient shrine in Atme, a Syria/Turkey border town.  Because jihadists don't like shrines, they took over the site and stopped people from worshipping there.  When that happened the locals started praying next to the tree, so the jihadists chopped it down claiming the people were worshipping the tree.

According to a pro-jihadist source:

“Thank God almighty, the tree... aged more than 150 years has been removed, after people were worshipping it instead of God,” said the source on Thursday via his Twitter account named “our call is our jihad”.

He also posted pictures of a man in a black mask using an electric saw to cut down the tree. A black Al-Qaeda-style flag bearing the Islamic profession of faith had been planted on top of the tree.

Such stupidity on so many levels.

American Jihadist In Syria Who Promised To Spread Islam Throughout The World- Is Dead

Well there's one less foreign jihadist fighting in Syria. This one happened to be American. The video is of Abu Dujana al-Amriki- while still alive- with a message for the West about how he and his mujahideen buddies will defy and kill all the Kuffar (infidels) that get in the way of spreading Islam and Shariah in Syria and the rest of the world.

The Syrian Army sent him off to meet his 72 (virgins) in the village of al-Hamra, in northwestern Syria.

Adios.

No Music At Weddings- Al-Qaeda In Syria Raids Wedding Party

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)- those lovely al-Qaeda types in control of areas of Syria  fighting to establish an Islamic state over there- are continuing to flex their muscles.  Since they believe that music is haram (forbidden) in Islam, they allegedly raided a wedding party somewhere in the outskirts of Aleppo and forced the band to stop playing.

“One leader of the Islamic State warned residents that if a music band is invited to a wedding again, the person responsible will be arrested because this is immoral,” the newspaper reported, citing an internet page of the Syrian Revolution in Menbej.

The al-Qaeda leader reportedly asked the man in charge of the wedding to memorize a verse of the Quran and attend several religious courses at al-Qaeda’s center in Maskana, near Aleppo.

But here's an interesting twist: Some think that what the al-Qaeda extremist groups are doing is just fueling anti-rebel sentiment, and playing into the hands of the Syrian government, so much so that even Ayman al-Zawahiri (head honcho of al-Qaeda) has told ISIL to disband immediately and let al-Nusra Front represent al-Qaeda in Syria. ISIL is the Syrian faction of the Islamic State in Iraq.  ISI will remain intact, according to Zawahiri.

Syrian Snipers Target Pregnant Women and Others In Game Of Target Practice

In a civil war where neither side is worth rooting for, and where both sides are responsible for horrific crimes against humanity, you support the side which is the least evil. In Syria, that's Bashar al Assad, by virtue of the fact that al-Qaeda factions have all but taken control of the rebel forces. I have been posting videos and information about the horrors of the al-Qaeda linked extremists fighting in Syria, now here's something allegedly from Assad's side:  Snipers targeting pregnant women.

War surgeon Dr. David Nott, who spent over a month in Syria, claims that snipers are using civilians as target practice, and turn it into a game, targeting different parts of the bodies.

“From the first patients that came in in the morning, you could almost tell what you would see for the rest of the day. It was a game. We heard the snipers were winning packets of cigarettes for hitting the correct number of targets.”

On one day more than six pregnant women were caught by sniper fire and on another day two heavily pregnant women were targeted. They survived but their unborn babies died, one suffering a bullet to the brain.

“The women were all shot through the uterus, so that must have been where they were aiming for... This was deliberate. It was hell beyond hell,” he told the paper.

Although Nott can not be certain which side was responsible, he believes it was Assad's.

Either way, they're all animals.

Freed Belgian Hostage Claims Rebels Launched Gas Attack In Syria

Italian reporter Domenico Quirico and Belgian teacher Pierre Piccinin- who were abducted by rebel forces in Syria and then pawned off to different Islamist groups, and were just released after five months in captivity-  have some very interesting things to say about their hostage days and what is going on in the country.

Treated like an animal Quirico said this of Syria and his captors:

"Even children and old people tried to hurt us. Maybe I am putting this in overly ethical terms but in Syria I really found a country of evil," he said.
[snip]
"Our captors were from a group that professed itself to be Islamist but that in reality is made up of mixed-up young men who have joined the revolution because the revolution now belongs to these groups that are midway between banditry and fanaticism," he said.

"They follow whoever promises them a future, gives them weapons, gives them money to buy cell phones, computers, clothes."

Such groups, he said, were trusted by the West but were in truth profiting from the revolution to "take over territory, hold the population to ransom, kidnap people and fill their pockets".

The rest of his story here.

In the interview on RTL's Le Journal (see below), Piccinin claims that the rebels and not Bashar al-Assad's government forces were responsible for the chemical weapons attack in Ghouta.  Apparently, information they garnered from a skype conversation the rebels had in English, the attack was a means of forcing the West into the conflict. Thank you Obama.

The following information was posted on the EretzZen YouTube channel:

"In this conversation, they said that the gas attack on two neighborhoods of Damascus was launched by the 'rebels' as a provocation to lead the West to intervene militarily," Quirico told Italy's La Stampa. "We were unaware of everything that was going on during our detention in Syria, and therefore also with the gas attack in Damascus."

While stating that the rebels most likely exaggerated the accident's death toll, the Italian journalist stressed that he could not vouch whether "the conversation was based on real facts." However, he said that one of the three people in the alleged conversation identified himself as a Free Syrian Army general, La Stampa reported.

Based on what both men have learned, Peccinin told RTL that it would be "insane and suicidal for the West to support these people."

"It pains me to say it because I've been a fierce supporter of the Free Syrian Army in its rightful fight for democracy since 2012," Piccinin added.

"There was sometimes real violence...humiliation, bullying, mock executions...Domenico faced two mock executions, with a revolver," Piccinin told RTL.

Both men were kidnapped in Syria last April by a group of armed men in pickup trucks who were believed to be from Free Syrian Army.

According to Piccinin, the captors soon transferred them over to the Abu Ammar brigade, a rebel group "more bandit than Islamist."

"We were moved around a lot...it was not always the same group that held us, there were very violent groups, very anti-West and some anti-Christian," Piccinin said.

Just more proof that we have no clue what is going on in that country.
