Al Qaeda Disowns Extremist Wing in Syria and Iraq

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has found itself disowned by Al Qaeda.

On Tuesday, Al Qaeda announced that they do not support the group's actions and said that they are no longer part of their terrorist network.

ISIL fights mostly in Syria and Iraq, and is responsible for splitting the rebel front in Syria, by repeatedly attacking non Islamic troops and villages.

Their shariah laws are more extreme than even Al Qaeda wants to be connected to.

Al Qaeda recognizes the Nusra Front as their official wing in Syria, and claims that they ordered ISIL to not even form.

It is unclear if this will lead to direct conflict between the factions, but it is likely.
