The head and several leaders of a major Syrian rebel group, Jaysh al-Islam, have been killed in an air strike in a suburb of Damascus, reports say.
Founder Zahroun Alloush was among those killed when rockets hit a meeting place, rebels and activists said.

I think Soros gave the EuromaidanPR office Christmas Day off.
“God Bless the man and women who risk their lifves to bring the intelligence and the Russians who act on it”
The Russians don’t have to send an attack request through thirteen level of chain of command, none of whom want to take responsibility for it if things go wrong, then when they do get the order, it comes with 5 page of warnings of what they can’t do.
The Russians seem to be operating under the “If You See it, KILL IT!” ROE.
Maybe, between Russia, France, the soddies and Israel, they'll completely destroy Syria. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Russia killed Zahran Alloush the leader of Jaysh al-Islam which is basically diet isis ,
Alloush gave a speech in 2013 praising Bin Laden and his group is a close ally of nusra the al Qaeda front in syria , so good riddance
And the Euromaidan Transliteration Liaison officer as well ...
True but Vlad probably picked our Christmas as a special day for his activities while we are distracted.
It was this scum bag and 10 of his associates who picked Christmas day to have a meeting ... Maybe they thought Russia was like the US and too PC to kill them on a holiday
Any group with al-Islam in its name is fair game as far as I’m concerned. The US backs it? You mean Obama backs it.
For what it’s worth, the literal translation of “Jaysh al-Islam” is “The Army of Islam”. They don’t sound like the people we should be backing.
What’s in a name? A skunk by any other name would smell as much. I’ll thank Vlad until I have a convincing reason to shed a tear for Jaysg-AlIslam.
He’s also run out of technical virgins.
Islam-nuts roasting on an open fire...
Now he be squooshed.
