These photos
from a militant website and reprinted by the Associated Press purport to show
Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) fighters in Anbar who are involved in fighting in Syria.
It has been widely reported that Islamists like AQI have been flocking to take
part in the Syrian conflict. Al Nusra Front for example, is said to be a front
group for Al Qaeda. There has recently been blowback in Iraq as well when a
group of over 40 Syrian soldiers who had sought refuge in Iraq were ambushed
and massacred in Anbar in March 2013. Shiite militias and the Kurdistan
Regional Government have either sent forces to Syria or supported fighters
there as well. Like the Iraq War involved regional powers and Islamist groups,
the same thing is now happening in Syria as these pictures reveal.
