Right before the raid in Yemen reported on January 28, 2017 AFB ... the plot thickens?
That didn't take long ...
Before you fly off the handle, all these rebel and terrorist forces are in oppositions to Assad and Putin. Should they win when that battle is over they will fight among themselves.

CIA vetted "moderates" join the coalition
Jabhat Fatah al-Sham announced this week that it was merging with four rebel factions: Nour al-Din al-Zinki, Liwa al-Haq, the Jabhat Ansar al-Din, and Jaish al-Sunna.
Nour al-Din al-Zinki has long been described as a major "moderate" rebel group. It was approved by the CIA and received TOW anti-tank missiles from the U.S. Al-Zinki entered the public spotlight in July for releasing a video in which it beheaded a teenager with a knife.
The new alliance, which is led by former heads of extremist militias Jabhat Fatah al-Sham and Ahrar al-Sham, calls itself Tahrir al-Sham (Arabic for "liberation of Syria").
"In view of the plots shaking the Syrian revolution... we announce the dissolution of all groups mentioned below and their total merger into a new entity named 'Tahrir al-Sham'," the militants said in a statement quoted by AFP.
