Who is Abu Mohammed al-Julani, leader of HTS in Syria?

(That's right he's Takfari Saudi origin who ended up working for our assets in Iraq called al Qaeda and then after being 'captured' by the Americans... he later returned (somehow) and ended up being tasked to destabilize Syria for President Obama. This is called irregular warfare folks.)

from al Jazeera

He was born Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa in 1982 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where his father worked as a petroleum engineer

The family returned to Syria in 1989, settling near Damascus.

Little is known of his time in Damascus before his move in 2003 to Iraq, where he joined al-Qaeda in Iraq as part of the resistance to the United States invasion that same year.

Arrested by US forces in Iraq in 2006 and held for five years, al-Julani was later tasked with establishing al-Qaeda’s branch in Syria, al-Nusra Front, which grew its influence in opposition-held areas, especially Idlib.

Al-Julani coordinated in those early years with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, head of al-Qaeda’s “Islamic State in Iraq”, which later became ISIL (ISIS).

In April 2013, al-Baghdadi suddenly announced that his group was cutting ties with al-Qaeda and would expand into Syria, effectively swallowing al-Nusra Front into a new group called ISIL.

Al-Julani rejected this change, maintaining his allegiance to al-Qaeda..
