This shit is concerning.

I mean, ISIS is already claiming thousands of ISIS fighters are sneaking into Europe as part of the refugee crisis. So a hint of an ISIS friendly fighter crossing a border was inevitable.
As you can see in the image it's very difficult to dispute what appears before your eyes. It's the same guy, but whether or not the guy was at one point personally allied with ISIS is somewhat open for dispute. That said, the unit he commanded was almost certainly fighting with ISIS forces.
His name is Laith Al Saleh. According to various reports across the web he's a former commander of a rebel unit that was 700 fighters strong. His command occurred under the Free Syrian Army, the rebel group that merged with ISIS.
WND has more.
The organization said word from the resort city of Al-Zabadani confirmed that the Free Syrian Army, which is being backed by the democracies of the West, “is currently fighting alongside two terrorist groups.”
Those were identified as Jabhat Al-Nusra, which is a Syrian affiliate of al-Qaida, and the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham, or ISIS.
The three groups are fighting, according to reports, the Syrian Arab Army’s 63rd Brigade of the 4th Mechanized Division and Hezbollah.
The report continued, “For almost a year, the FSA, ISIS and Jabhat Al-Nusra have been deeply entrenched in the vast Qalamoun and Western Mountains of Lebanon and Syria, while they attempted to maintain their strategic supply routes from the ‘Arsal District of the Beqa’a Governorate (Lebanon) amid relentless airstrikes from the Syrian Arab Air Force (SAAF).”
Why this man left the FSA/ISIS is unknown. Why he was allowed to leave is even more of a mystery. But now we know who he is and where he is. He's headed into the interior of Europe and he's a highly trained killer who once likely fought alongside ISIS.
And I'm guessing this is just one of thousands of similar stories underway as the exodus out of Syria continues to flood Europe with Muslim refugees.
