A spokesman for the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA) says al-Qaeda-affiliated militants have threatened to kill all of the group\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s senior commanders.\n<\/p>\n
The group linked to al-Qaeda \u00c5\u201cphoned me saying that they killed Abu Bassir and that they will kill all\u201d of the commanding members of the FSA, Qassem Saadeddine said on Friday.\n<\/p>\n
Kamal Hamami, also known as Abu Basir al-Ladkani, was shot dead following a meeting with the al-Qaeda militants in the Syrian port city of Latakia on Thursday.\n<\/p>\n
Hamami had traveled to the city to meet members of the rival group “to discuss battle plans.”\n<\/p>\n
Hamami\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s death signals a widening rift between members of foreign-backed militants who are fighting against the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.\n<\/p>\n
On June 5, dozens of militants were killed and wounded as violent infighting broke out between several Takfiri groups in Syria\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s northwestern province of Idlib, according to the locals.\n<\/p>\n
Foreign-sponsored militancy in Syria has taken its toll on the lives of many people, including large numbers of Syrian soldiers and security personnel, since March 2011.\n<\/p>\n
Western powers and their regional allies including the Israeli regime, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are supporting anti-Syria militant groups, including al-Qaeda-linked terrorists, to overthrow the Syrian government.\n<\/p>\n
In an interview with the Syrian daily Al-Thawra<\/i> published on July 4, President Assad said the opposition and their foreign supporters have \u00c5\u201cexhausted all their tools\u201d in the conspiracy against Syria.\n<\/p>\n
