Al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri has called for an end to deadly infighting between an al-Qaeda-linked group and rival Islamists in Syria.
“Every free person in Syria working on toppling (President Bashar) al-Assad ... has to stop fighting brothers in jihad and Islam immediately,” al-Zawahiri said in an audio message posted online.
“Our hearts and the hearts of the (Muslim) nation are bleeding, when we see the internal fighting among the mujahideen in Syria.”
