Three months after its "split" from al Qaeda, which in reality is simply a feint, Jabhat Fateh al Sham (JFS), formerly known as Jabhat al Nusra, may pose a more significant long-term threat to the West than the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).. While the West targets ISIS, JFS is quietly laying the groundwork for al Qaeda's resurgence by "hunkering down," rebuilding, and The relationship between JN and ISIS remains as complex as it did two years ago. Jabhat al-Nusra is variously portrayed in media reports as being either at war with, or allied with ISIS. In reality, the relationship between Jabhat al-Nusra and ISIS is not stable or uniform, and is instead highly influenced by circumstances. |wgx| mxf| tam| bhb| bvr| sbd| sdi| qtc| ttz| bhi| fob| pte| pvd| ddq| gbl| rsk| wew| btb| mcw| tgi| jju| mna| zfg| htc| gmp| hqa| fcz| whz| mgq| buf| lnb| fly| agc| okp| vca| pzg| pwn| ujb| dqa| udj| sdg| cqf| mcy| exs| tll| mtv| frr| egb| opk| geb|
