ISIS and Al Qaeda Reportedly Joining Forces for the Greater Evil
According to the Associated Press, jihadi godfathers Al Qaeda and scrappy terror upstarts ISIS have decided to put aside their petty differences and focus on what's really important: making life worse for everyone else.
The two groups have been negotiating local truces since October, but a new agreement reached this month could have ISIS and Al Qaeda coordinating attacks on their mutual enemies.
According to a Syrian opposition official speaking in Turkey, the meeting took place Nov. 2 in the town of Atareb, west of Aleppo, starting at around midnight and lasting until 4 a.m. The official said the meeting was closely followed by members of his movement, and he is certain that an agreement was reached.
Luckily for anyone fearing a 2014 ISIS/Al Qaeda reunion tour, the new pact reportedly "stops short of a merger between the two."
