The radical Sunni Wahhabist push to establish a Shari law caliphate stretching across Syria and Iraq gained traction on Wednesday as two rival groups joined forces.
News of the merger was reported by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a one-man propaganda operation run by Rami Abdulrahman, an anti-Assad activist based in London.
The al-Nusra Front is said to have pledged allegiance to ISIS, a move suggesting ISIS is now the dominant jihadist group in the region. The meeting reportedly took place in Albu Kamal on the Syria-Iraq border.
In April, 2013 al-Nusra pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda and its leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri. “The sons of al-Nusra Front pledge allegiance to Sheikh Ayman al-Zawahiri,” Abu Mohammed al-Jawlani, the mercenary group leader said in an audio recording.
ISIS, al-Nusra and other radical Muslim groups now dominate the fight in Syria. So-called moderate groups are no match for the jihadists.
“The moderates, often underfunded, fragmented and chaotic, appear no match for Islamist units, which include fighters from organizations designated ‘terrorist’ by the United States,” Reuters reported last June.
