Al Qaeda disassociates from the Iraqi ISIS group

In a message posted on jihadi websites Monday, Al Qaeda’s General Command said it had no link with the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and is not responsible for its action, including clashes with Syrian rebel groups. "Al Qaeda announces that it does not link itself with that group. … It is not a branch of the al Qaeda group, does not have an organizational relationship with it and (al Qaeda) is not the group responsible for their actions,"
