So the FSA is pro-sharia?
BEIRUT (Reuters) – Syria’s main rebel group said on Monday that it wanted an Islamic court to investigate the killing of one of its top commanders at the hands of foreign Islamist fighters last week.
The call is the first official reaction by the Western-backed Supreme Military Council to the killing of Kamal Hamami, also known as Abu Bassir al-Ladkani, which has set liberal rebels and Islamists at each other’s throats.
Rebel sources said Abu Ayman al-Baghdadi, the main suspect, is in hiding and there is no sign that he will be handed over to the court in the northern city of Aleppo by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, an al-Qaida-linked group in Syria to which he belongs.
“The Sharia court will look into the case … all sides have been informed about this, the military council wants the killer to be handed over to the Sharia court,” Qassem Saadeddine, spokesman of the Supreme Military Council, said after a meeting of the body.
