godot - 2013-02-09 "The most dominant of the extremist groups is Jabhat al-Nusra. The U.S. has declared it a terrorist organization, claiming it has ties to al-Qaida.
The group claimed responsibility Monday for a suicide car bombing that reportedly killed dozens of Assad's loyalists last week.
In a statement posted online, it said one of its suicide bombers detonated a car bomb Jan. 21 at the headquarters of a pro-government militia in the central province of Hama. It said the bomber drove a truck packed with explosives to the militia's complex in the town of Salamiya and blew himself up "to give the tyrannical regime a taste" of violence it has been inflicting on the Syrian people.
Activists said at least 42 people, mostly pro-Assad militiamen, were killed in the blast. The government did not say how many people were killed, although two days after the bombing, state-run SANA news agency published photographs of what it said was a funeral procession for the blast's victims. In one of the photographs, a dozen men are seen standing behind 11 caskets, wrapped into a Syrian flag."
