Al-Qaeda’s leader ordered the group’s Syrian affiliate, the al-Nusra Front, to end fighting with jihadist rivals, in an audiotape published online Friday. Ayman al-Zawahiri, in a message to al-Nusra chief Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, ordered that “all soldiers of the front immediately cease fighting” other jihadist groups. Powerful rebel groups in Syria, including al-Nusra Front, have been locked in fierce fighting with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria since January that has killed thousands of fighters. (AFP)
