Voici venu le jour où nos médias évoquent « le leader “modéré” d’al-Qaeda ». (Tu sais que j’apprécie beaucoup les usages créatifs que les journalistes font des guillemets, mais là on touche au chef-d’œuvre.)
Abu Firas al-Suri : Who was the ’moderate’ Jabhat al-Nusra leader killed in an air strike in Idlib ?

But it was his stance taken towards Isis which marked the importance Abu Firas, a senior leader of Jabhat al-Nusra, al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria. He had remained implacably opposed to the group even as other senior rebel commanders joined in the mission to create the Caliphate.
Some of what is left of the ‘moderate’ rebels held that Abu Firas was someone they could work with in opposing both the Damascus regime and Isis. If initial reports that he died in a US drone strike prove to be true, it will reinforce conspiracy theories among them that the Americans and the Russians are secretly working in cahoots to keep Bashar al-Assad in power.
