Rebel leader says Syria on path to becoming Islamic state (AP, Nov 30, 2012):
"A leader of an al-Qaida-inspired militant group fighting the regime in Syria said his men do not fear death and they are determined to form an Islamic state. Jabhat al-Nusra — Arabic for "the Support Front" — has claimed responsibility for suicide bombings and other attacks on regime targets across the country.The group has raised fears of a growing Islamic militant element among the forces seeking to topple President Bashar Assad. "Thanks to our strong faith we do not fear death, because we think that if you are killed by the hands of this regime, then we will be martyrs and we will go to paradise," said Sheik Abu Ahmed, 41, a regional military commander for al-Nusra in the northern Hasaka region. "We want Sharia (Islamic law) to be applied because it's the right path for all humanity," he added. "All these constitutional laws couldn't realize the people's happiness.""
