SNIPPET: “Tounisi had hoped to eventually join a jihadist militant group operating inside Syria called Jabhat al-Nusrah, according to the complaint. The organization is an alias for al-Qaida in Iraq, according to the complaint.
Since November 2011, Jabhat al-Nusrah has claimed nearly 600 terrorist attacks – ranging from more than 40 suicide attacks to small arms and improvised explosive device operations – in major city centers in Syria, officials said.”
