Episode 56- Syrian Jihad: Jabhat al Nursa and the Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham

Aymenn Jawad al-Tamimi (@ajaltamimi) talks to me (@rejectionking) about the Syrian jihad including the key players, Iraq's role in the conflict, the political goals of groups like Jabhat al Nursa and the Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham, and the role of foreign support.

Check out Aymenn's latest: "Where does Jabhat al-Nursa end and Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham begin?" and "The Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham expands into Rural Northern Syria."
