A powerful al-Qaida-linked group that dominates much of rebel-held northwest Syria has released one of its founders after he spent months in jail on suspicion of having links with forces outside the country
released Friday one of its founders after he spent months in jail on suspicion of having links with forces outside the country.
On Friday, hundreds marched in a show of defiance against the militant chief, Abu Mohammed al-Golani, who runs the al-Qaida-linked Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group. The protests took place in the city of Idlib, the capital of the province with the same name, and surrounding towns and villages.The al-Qaida-linked group has crushed several rival groups in the enclave over the past few years and violently suppressed any protests against it.
There have been allegations that the jails run by al-Golani targeted the group's own members suspected of allegedly having provided intelligence to the U.S.-led coalition, which over the years led to the killing of top al-Qaida commanders in drone strikes in different parts of Syria.
