Information
Due to the nature of this person, there is not enough current information to write up a detailed insight into this individual. Abu Jaber is presumed to be around age 40, and is currently living in the Idlib Governate. This Person is not classed as a terrorist by the United Nations Security Council or the Central Intelligence Agency. Abu Jaber is said to be a former Syrian Civil Engineer, and had joined the revolution in its earlier days.
Abu Jaber is one of the three founding leaders of Ahrar al-Sham, and his decision to join the Merger has discredited the group majorly.[1]
Contributions to the war effort
Abu Jaber has made many contributions to the civil war. He had established Ahrar al-Sham, the first major Rebel group to be seen through the eyes of the Syrian Arab Army As a threat to them. Abu Jaber is one of the three founding figures of this Group. Abu Jaber has also achieved many feats relating to the war, including establishing rebel controlled cities in which citizens are pleased with and feel they have an acceptable Quality of Life. He has recently become the Emir or Commander of Tahrir al-Sham, which had been established on the 28'th of January, 2017. This has impacted the civil war within the past few days as the group may match numbers with Ahrar al-Sham.
Militant Activity
Abu Jaber, unlike many other leaders, spontaneously rose during the Syrian revolution. Abu Jaber, prior to the revolution, had nothing to do with armed islamist groups & worked as a civil engineer. Abu Jaber had founded the Ahrar al-Sham Militant group, which has been classed as one of the most powerful and best armed rebel groups by many foreign entities, including former US state secretary John Kerry.
Abu Jaber, however, is now classed as a terrorist, due to the fact that he is the General leader or emir of the Tahrir al-Sham movement, a splinter group lead by Jabhat al-Nusra, in which America is listed as one of its opponents.
Abu Jaber is known for infrequently communicating with people via his Twitter account, although his account was suspended on the 30'th of January, 2017.
