The Syrian Observator for Human Rights, which tracks Syria’s civil war, published the video above that shows members of the Al Nusrah Front for the People of the Levant, al Qaeda’s affilate in Syria, raising the black flag of jihad in a neighborhood in Aleppo. From the SOHR’s Facebook page:

“Aleppo province: Islamist activists in the Tariq al-Bab neighbourhood of Aleppo have taken down the Syrian revolution flags and threw them to the ground, putting in their place the flag of Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham. Local civil activists have voiced much anger as a result.”

The raising of al Qaeda’s flag in Aleppo is not surpising. At the end of the winter of 2013, the Al Nusrah Front imposed sharia, or Islamic law, in Aleppo. The Nusrah Front is also in control of vast areas of eastern Syria, including Raqqah, a provincial capital, and has also impose sharia there.
