Activists: Rival Islamist rebel groups clash in northern Syria

The Associated Press, Beirut -
A wave of tit-for-tat kidnappings between rival Islamic militant
groups in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo risks sparking large-scale
internal fighting between rebels after clashes killed at least four
militants earlier this week, activists said Saturday.
The
director of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami
Abdul-Rahman, said a coalition of rebel groups known as the Judicial
Council had accused another armed opposition faction, the Ghurabaa
al-Sham, of plundering factories in Aleppo's industrial neighborhood.
Aleppo, Syria's largest city and a former commercial center, is split
between rebel and government control.
Any internal fighting
between rebels in the city would play into the hands of the regime,
which is trying to tarnish the image of the opposition by saying it is
dominated by extremists linked to al-Qaida network.
Aleppo, a
city of 3 million that was once a bastion of support for President
Bashar Assad, has been engulfed in heavy fighting since rebels launched
an assault there in July and captured several neighborhoods. Over the
past few weeks, regime forces have been pursuing an offensive in the
city, mainly focused on pushing the rebels from around the international
airport and a nearby military air base.
Abdul-Rahman said
tensions among rebel factions have been rising in opposition-held areas,
mostly on the eastern side of the city.
The two groups, the
Judicial Council and the Ghurabaa al-Sham, clashed on Tuesday near
Aleppo in fighting that left four members of the Judicial Council dead,
Abldul-Rahman said. He added that the Judicial Council is now holding
dozens of members of Ghurabaa al-Sham captive.
Aleppo-based
activist Mohammed Saeed said Ghurabaa al-Sham withdrew its fighters from
several neighborhoods, including the industrial area, and that it had
released all of the Judicial Council members it had been holding
captive.
“The situation is very tense in Aleppo,” said
Abdul-Rahman, who relies on a network of activists around the country.
He said that Ghurabaa al-Sham has warned it will bring some of its
members from outside the city to fight against the Judicial Council if
its members are not freed.
Saeed said Ghurabaa al-Sham released
all Judicial Council members it was holding while the other group
refused to set free Ghuarbaa al-Sham members and is still holding them.
He added that the Judicial Council is an umbrella organization that
includes the Tawheed Brigade, al-Sham Liberals and the
al-Qaida-affiliated Jabhat al-Nusra - one of the most effective forces
among the mosaic of rebel brigades fighting to topple Assad in Syria's
civil war.
“There are fears that fighting (between rebels) might erupt in Aleppo,” Saeed
said by telephone.
In other parts of Syria, the Observatory reported that rebels captured
several villages late Friday in the central province of Hama after weeks
of fighting with government troops. It said the villages were inhabited
by members of Assad's minority Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite
Islam.
It said the Alawite villages - Tleisiyeh, Zaghba, Shaata
and Balil - are all on the eastern side of the central province. The
Observatory said residents fled the area captured by rebels.
The uprising against Assad's rule that began in March 2011 quickly
became an outlet for long-suppressed grievances, mostly by poor Sunnis
from marginalized areas. It has since escalated into an outright civil
war that killed more than 70,000 people according to the United Nations.
The conflict has grown increasingly sectarian, both in action and rhetoric.
Earlier this month, activists reported that troops and pro-government
Alawite gunmen killed more than 100 people in Sunnis areas in the
coastal city of Banias and the nearby town of Bayda. The violence in
Banias and Bayda bears a close resemblance to two reported mass killings
last year in Houla and Qubeir, Sunni villages surrounded by Alawite
towns.
Many of the rebels trying to overthrow Assad today say they want to replace his
government with an Islamic state.
The Syrian National Coalition, the main umbrella opposition group
warned in a statement that government forces are currently imposing a
siege and communications blackout on the towns of Halfaya and Aqrab in
Hama.
“Civilians in those areas are now cut off from contact
with the outside world, and lives are in extreme danger,” the coalition
said in a statement.
The Observatory and the Local Coordination
Committees, another activist group, reported intense clashes around the
town of Qusair near the Lebanon border. Syrian opposition groups say
members of Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group are taking part in the
fighting along with Assad's forces.
