In reference to Islamic Front leader Abu Khaled al-Souri: “[His] killing resembled the murder of the Caliph Ali, may God bless him, who was killed by the criminal [Abdel Rahman] Ibn Muljam. [The death] of Abu Khaled was a great loss for us. I knew him well and met with him in London. His loss is like the loss of the Mujahid Sheikh Osama bin Laden.”Tamer al-Samadi, “Abu Qatada denounces ISIS ‘gold tax’ on Syrian Christians,” Al-Monitor, February 28, 2014, http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/security/2014/02/syria-isis-gold-tax-christians-abu-qatada.html.
