BEIRUT (AFP) – Al-Qaeda-linked Syrian jihadist group Al-Nusra Front
on Sunday vowed revenge strikes against villages from President Bashar
al-Assad’s community over claims his forces used chemical weapons.
“The
Alawite villages will pay the price for each chemical rocket that
struck our people in Damascus,” Al-Nusra front chief Abu Mohammed
al-Jawlani said in an audio message posted on the Internet and on his
Twitter account.
Assad hails from the Alawite community, an
offshoot of Shiite Islam unlike most Sunni rebel groups fighting to
topple him, including Al-Nusra whose chief in March pledged allegiance
to Al-Qaeda.
