Al-Nusra Front releases 7 US-trained rebels
In recent weeks, Al-Nusra Front, al Qaeda in Syria, kidnapped thirteen members of the US-trained Syrian rebels known as Division 30. AFP reports that Al-Nusra released seven of their captives;
In a statement circulating on social media, Division 30 said seven of its members had been freed by Al-Nusra after being captured in late July.
“Seven Division 30 fighters who were being held by the brothers in Al-Nusra Front have been freed,” the statement stamped by the unit said.
“We welcome this noble initiative and urge the brothers of Al-Nusra and hope that they will release in the coming hours the group’s commander and other fighters,” the statement continued.
I guess al Qaeda is trying to look like a more reasonable choice compared to ISIS, because we all know that if it had been ISIS that had captured the Division 30 troops, they would be in pieces by now.

Al probably obtained the names and locations of all of their captives’ relatives and made the group a deal they couldn’t refuse. Not a bad idea, really.
It’s called Division 30 because they are down to 30 Syrian troops now. Well maybe 37 now, if they haven’t been brainwashed into being inside kill men.
7 US trained Syrian fighters? Why, that’s what, 10% of the total US trained Syrians?
In pieces or roasted. Yeah, I think the AQs are trying to appear to be somewhat ‘reasonable’, whatever that means to them.
I think, also, that they are scared silly of ISIS because they know that the ISers will just as soon slaughter them as look at them.

WTH is that?
Apparently, it’s Turkish. I still don’t get it.
How nice of them. In other news His Holiness, the great Uniter in Chief, has already made plans to attend Ranger school graduation.

Maybe some smart boyo decided : ‘well, these 7 are so incompetent they would drag down anyone’s unit… let’s send them back’
