Rebels battle al-Qaida-affiliated fighters across northern Syria
By Staff The Associated Press
BEIRUT – Syrian rebels seized a compound held by al-Qaida-linked militants Sunday as their one-time allies used car bombs against them, in some of the most serious infighting between fighters challenging the rule of President Bashar Assad.
The rebel-on-rebel fighting against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant is the strongest pushback yet from Syrian rebels who have seen their uprising to topple Assad hijacked by al-Qaida forces seeking to impose Islamic rule in opposition-held portions of the country.

The clashes began Friday after residents accused the al-Qaida-linked fighters of killing a doctor in the northern Syrian province of Aleppo. Fighting quickly spread to rebel-held areas of the northeast province of Idlib and the central province of Hama.
The clashes widened Sunday, with at least one outside of Aleppo pitting the ISIL against the Nusra Front, which is also an al-Qaida-aligned group, said Rami Abdurrahman of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Another clash struck the town of Tabqa in the eastern province of Raqqa, where ISIL forces are most dominant, Abdurrahman said.
The Observatory obtains its information from a network of activists on the ground.
Rebels seized the ISIL compound in the town of Manbij in the northern province of Aleppo, activists said.
