Syria Forces Attack French Jihadis, Lobbies US to Lift Sanctions, Turkey Extends Troop Mandate | 4k

Syrian forces said on Wednesday (Oct. 22) they had surrounded a camp housing a prominent French jihadist wanted by his government, sparking clashes according to a monitoring group.The operation in northwest Syria was the Islamist-led government’s first known assault targeting jihadists since the ouster in December of longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad.Since taking power, Syria’s new leaders have sought to break from their own radical Islamist past and present a moderate image more tolerable to ordinary Syrians and foreign powers.The group of foreign jihadists targeted by government forces on Wednesday is known as Firqatul Ghuraba in Arabic, or the Foreigners’ Brigade, led by 50-year-old Oumar Diaby, a Franco-Senegalese criminal-turned-preacher who adopted the name Omar Omsen.n18oc_world n18oc_crux 0:00 INTRODUCTION2:08 WHO IS THE FRENCH FIGHTER WANTED BY SYRIA?3:10 TURKEY EXTENDS TROOP DEPLOYMENT IN SYRIA & IRAQ4:06 SYRIA LOBBIES FOR REMOVAL OF SANCTIONS5:25 UK REMOVES AL-SHARAA’S HTS FROM ‘TERRORIST’ OUTFITS LIST
