NNA - A clansman from the Hujayri tribe has met his death at the hands of ISIL gunmen during a firefight between Nusra Front and ISIL militias in the slopes of Arsal, NNA field reporters said today. Working as a henchman of a local field commander dubbed "Abou-Taqiyyeh"-- the one with a cap-- the slain clansman code-named Abul-Bara' is thought to have belonged to the fundamentalist rival militia al-Nusra, the same reporters concluded. http://nna-leb.gov.lb/en/show-news/59101/Hujayri-clansman-killed-in-Arsal
