Yes because they have been working with al Nusra. They've aligned with AQ. Garden is over. I have too much time on my hands.
I know this shit.
The al-Nusra Front, or Jabhat al-Nusra (Arabic: جبهة النصرة لأهل الشام Jabhat an-Nuṣrah li-Ahli ash-Shām, "The Support Front for the People of Al-Sham", often abbreviated to JN or JaN), sometimes called al-Qaeda in Syria or al-Qaeda in the Levant,[41] is a Sunni Islamic jihadist militia fighting against Syrian Government forces in the Syrian Civil War, with the aim of establishing an Islamist state in the country.[42] It is the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda,[43] and also operates in neighbouring Lebanon.[
The group announced its formation on 23 January 2012.[45] In November 2012, The Washington Post described al-Nusra as the most successful arm of the Free Syrian Army (FSA).[46] Ten days later, the United States designated Jabhat al-Nusra as a foreign terrorist organization,[47] it has also been designated by the United Nations Security Council,[48] France,[49] Australia,[50] the United Kingdom,[51][52] Canada,[53] Saudi Arabia,[54] New Zealand,[55] United Arab Emirates,[56] Russia,[57] and Turkey.[58]
In early 2015, there were reports that Qatar and other Gulf states were trying to get al-Nusra to split away from al-Qaeda, after which they would support al-Nusra with money.[59] Western observers[60] and a Syrian observer[61] considered such a split unlikely, and in March 2015, al-Nusra’s leadership denied a break-up or that talks with Qatar had occurred.[60] Other Syrian observers considered such a split conceivable[61] or imminent.[62]
As of 2015, al-Nusra cooperates with Islamist and jihadist rebel groups, and sometimes Free Syrian Army-aligned groups, against Syrian government forces (see section Relations with other Syrian rebels).
