A notorious terrorist group in Syria's Idlib province confirmed the death of the group ringleader as militants of Free Syrian Army (FSA) group tortured to death one of their senior commanders after accusing him of negotiating with the Syrian government.

According to local sources, Colonel Zaidan Nesairat of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) was tortured to death by another FSA faction, apparently as he was accused by FSA fellow militants of trying to negotiate with the Syrian government for reconciliation in Dara'a, Al Masdar reported.

Also, the group called 'Liwa Shuhada al Islam' confirmed in a statement that the group leader, nom de guerre Abu Jafar Al Hindi has been declared dead.

Although the statement has not specifically said how he died but reports suggest he drowned in a river near Darkoush, in terrorist held Idlib province.

The group mostly operated out of Darayya near Damascus, according to Islam14 news outlet, before being evacuated to Idlib in September as part of a government deal.

In late August, the "FSA" commander, a former colonel in the SAA who went AWOL and deserted, Zaidan Nesairat, was negotiating to hand over all Der'ah under his control to the Syrian government in exchange for his pension and freedom.

Meanwhile, Col. Nesairat who was killed by his FSA comrades, had been negotiating in Izraa for a reconciliation deal for Ibtaa after the Syrian Army had liberated Sheikh Miskeen a year ago.

The family of Col. Nesairat and other militant factions have accused the leader of Sand Al Horan Battalion faction of the FSA, Ahmad al Owdah, of the murder and have made calls for his arrest.

Shabab Al Sunna Division refused to hand his body back and buried him in unknown place, which will surely cause another internal civil war amongst the militants.
