After ISIL’s Baghdadi, Nusra Front’s Joulani Declares Islamic Emirate in the Levant

The leader of the terrorist group, Jabhat al-Nusra (Nusra Front), which is al-Qaeda’s official branch in Syria, Abu Muhammad al-Joulani has declared to his followers his group’s intention to establish an « Islamic Emirate » in al-Sham (the Levant or Greater Syria).
