بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
تنفي جبهة النصرة – أعزها الله – أن يكون لها أية علاقة في مقتل القيادي في كتائب الفاروق، ونوضح أن إخواننا في جماعة “مجلس الشورى” التي كان يترأسها العبسي هي جماعة مستقلة وأنها غير منضوية تنظيمياً تحت جبهة النصرة.
وندعو الطرفين لضبط النفس وعدم الانشغال عن قتال النظام، كما ندعوهم لحل النزاع عبر لجنة شرعية معتبرة..
ولا تمانع الجبهة من الدخول كطرف وسيط بين الجماعتين ونذكر وسائل الإعلام بتحري صدق الاخبار ونقلها بأمانة…
اللهم ألف بين قلوبنا واجمعنا على طاعتك ياكريم..

Check out my new al-Wasat post: "The Ghosts of Sinjar in Tripoli and Benghazi"
Posted on
A month ago, Ansar al-Shari’ah in Benghazi (The Supporters of Islamic Law; ASB), on its official Facebook page via its official media outlet al-Rayyah Foundation for Media Production uploaded a poster (see above) promoting a demonstration on Sunday December 16 in Tripoli and Benghazi. The demonstration is in support of Libyans currently imprisoned in Iraq. In the past few months there have been other protests in support of Libyans in Iraq, too. Similarly, Ansar al-Shari’ah in Tunisia (AST) has also held demonstrations in the past for Tunisians that are imprisoned in Iraq. What’s fascinating in this case is that the promotional poster contains names of ten individuals. At the suggestion of the blogger/tweeter that goes by the name of Around the Green Mountain I cross-checked these names with the Sinjar Records to see if there were any matches.
For background on the Sinjar Records see the Combating Terrorism Center’s description in their report that first analyzed these records: “In November 2007, the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point received nearly 700 records of foreign nationals that entered Iraq between August 2006 and August 2007 … The records contain varying levels of information on each fighter, but often include the fighter’s country of origin, hometown, age, occupation, the name of the fighter’s recruiter, and even the route the fighter took to Iraq. The records were captured by coalition forces in October 2007 in a raid near Sinjar, along Iraq’s Syrian border.”
When the raw data was checked, four out of the ten names were a match (or had a part of the name): ‘Adil Jum’ah Muhammad al-Sha’lali, ‘Ali ‘Uthman Hamad al-‘Arfi, Hamzah ‘Ali ‘Awad, and Muhammad Saqr Muhammad. Some information about them:
