The leader of the Ahrar al-Sham rebel group has been killed along with at least 20 of his commanders in a suicide attack on a high-level meeting in Syria's Idlib province, reports say.
Local activist sources said Hassan Abboud was killed on Tuesday as he met other Ahrar and rebel leaders in the village of Ram Hamdan.
Ahrar has about 20,000 fighters, was part of the Islamic Front alliance formed to counter the Islamic State group, and has been involved in battles against both the Asad government and the Islamic State.
Another of the group's leaders, Abu Khaled al-Souri, was killed by the Islamic State earlier this year.

ISIS is claiming responsibility on Twitter.
Huge hit to the Obama/McCain doctrine on arming moderate rebel fighters.

Syrian rebel “moderates.”
They will only cut your throat instead of sawing your head all the way off.
To: winoneforthegipper
Does this mean more weapons flowing from the “friendly rebels” we arm to ISIS?

Thanks to Obama’s muddled and misguided strategy - I don’t know if this is good news or bad.

These were the people Obama tomorrow night was going to lift into the limelight.
He was so going to tie ISIS strategy into Assad/Syria strategy....ISIS just checkmated him. Again.

Doesn’t matter. The MANPADs we shipped them all made it to ISIS. (Probably...)

As far a muslims go let them thin their own herd without us committing troops anywhere. Not one American military life is worth all muslims.

That’s my working theory as to why IS has made the strides they have: they’re holding Aviation hostage with the MANPADS.
You let us re-arrange our sandlot the way we want, we let you keep your aviation routes.
