Nusra Front, along with other Takfiri militant factions fighting the Syrian government, pledged allegiance to ISIL.

Nusra Front, along with other Takfiri militant factions fighting the Syrian government, pledged allegiance to the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Levant, another Takfiri group which announced the “Islamic Caliphate” last week.

Media reports said that militants of the Nusra Front vacated all its sites in the city of al-Mayadeen, in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor. The militants also pledged allegiance for ISIL, reports said.

“All factions in this area, including “Free Syrian Army”, “Ahrar al-Sham” and Nusra Front repent to Allah from fighting the “Islamic State”, a militant from the Takfiri group said in a video posted on Internet, referring to ISIL.

ISIL is now controlling the area from Albu Kamal, city that lies on the border with Iraq, to al-Bab city in Aleppo, passing by the province of Raqqa, following the withdrawal of the armed Takfiri groups from these areas.

However, the city of Deir Ezzor, along with its military airport is still under the Syrian army’s control.
