The US state department has expressed concern over the influence of fundamentalist groups in Syria, including the al-Nusra Front, which is said to have ties to al-Qaeda.
Spokesman Mark Toner told reporters
that groups like al-Nusra are increasingly "a matter of concern" to
Washington.
"Although they make up a
relatively small part of the opposition to Assad, we know that these groups,
al-Qaeda and their ilk, try to take advantage of exactly the kind of
environment that Assad has fostered over the last year or so," Toner said.
Unknown before the start of the
uprising in Syria in March 2011, al-Nusra has claimed responsibility for recent
suicide bombings that have rocked Syria, including in the capital Damascus and
Aleppo.
Some rebel groups, including
al-Nusra, have said they want to create an Islamic state after the current
authoritarian government is removed, and reject a future government formed by
other opposition groups in Syria - an outcome Washington deems
unacceptable.

This is funny thing, the reality is, there are few different
type of jihadists or extremists or dedicated Muslims on the ground, one of them
the al-Nusra et al, one of the most
fearless, well skilled and looking for a glory of martyrdom fighters, they are minority so as the number
of martyrdom and injury much higher than any other fighters on the
ground because of their standing at the most frontline, certainly they are very for
dedicates Allah solders, they give their life for
their Allah, name of Allah to get rid of terrorist Assad gang.They made a clear( they reject fervently they are not a "nationalist") that is not necessary terrorists either. There is always extremists in every religion! So I think other
FSA fighters let al-Nusra stand frontline for shelter for them. And all the credit
FSA gets! There is also other group, they
are almost all Syrian Muslims(closely nationalist) FSA revolutionary, they are
not sectarian, embraces all sectors of Syrian
regardless religions, they are immensely dedicated their Syria, they will die
for Syria, they need their Allah for over come this hard revolution their beloved
Syria and their personal tragic. I think the Quran or the Allah give them courage
which something we all need when we
faced on a great hardship, they need money and weapon for attracting hardliner benefactors
which West et all didn’t help them last 20 or months, so in my view because of minority
start with, of the al-Nursra et all, also their martyrdom make them still remains
as a minority! When US
et al comes with money and weapons you will see all the extremists fundamentalist
will be disperse! Also there are few other groups! Manageable chaos with right leadership, bottom up!
Update: In my view al-Nusra is not terrorist but they are jihad or Mujahideen. Now west et al set them as a terrorist that is bit out of proposition in Syria. they believe their God( very individuality) and carried out their believing duty that does n;t mean that they are terrorist! In Syria they are fighting against the unspeakable terrorist criminal Assad name of their Allah, - christens do that too - I don;t think no one has right to condemn once's believe whether that is a stone or tree or any other mean as long as they not harm to you! Also everyone has right to express what sort of political system they want in Syria post criminal Assad, that is their right! They can say, for heaven sake that is their liberty of expression and freedom which the very thing they are fighting for!
