“ISIL” Criticizes Zawahiri for Betraying Osama bin Laden
Local Editor
The so-called "Islamic State of Iraq and Levant" [ISIL] criticized al-Qaeda's terrorist leader Aymen Zawahiri for betraying its former slain leader Osama bin Laden, through a statement issued on Monday.
The "ISIL" issued a statement on Monday saying that Zawahiri's approach toward the issues in Syria did not follow bin Laden's principles and 'betrayed' his goals.
The recent statement by the "ISIL" criticized Zawahiri for tasking his followers to find those responsible for the killing of Abu Khalid Suri, who is said to have been killed in Syria.
On Sunday, Zawahiri praised Suri and his role in the group, and asked his followers to go and find those responsible for his death.
Suri was the representative of Zawahiri in Syria, and was working to end rifts between al-Qaeda affiliated groups. He was also a co-founder of the al-Qaeda affiliated group of Ahrar al-Sham. He was killed in Aleppo after militants blew up the compound he was residing in.
His mediations were not welcomed by the "ISIL."
