The Ansar al Din Front, a coalition of several jihadist groups in Syria, released a statement on Feb. 7 mourning the death of Harith al Nadhari, a top sharia official in Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
The statement, titled “Let Tears Flow Over Likes of Al Nadhari,” was first published on Ansar al Din’s official Twitter feed.
Its constituent groups include the Jaish al Muhajireen awl Ansar (JMA), Sham al Islam, Al Katibah al Khadra, and Fajr al Sham.
Meanwhile, Ansar al Din has fought alongside Al Nusrah against their common enemies on multiple occasions.
Ansar al Din concludes its eulogy for Nadhari by offering its “condolences” to ummah, the mujahideen, and Nadhari’s family.
