It has been revealed that the emir of al-Nusra Front Abu Mohammed al-Joulani is leading efforts, with direct support from Saudi cleric Sheikh Abdullah Mohaisany, to reorganize and reinvigorate his group.

The recording, which sheds light on dramatic new aspects of the “jihadi civil war,” has since been taken down.
