"A US official told Al-Monitor:
Not HTS, but “rebels” of the reactivated Southern Front—once linked to Jordanian & US intelligence agencies—were the first to reach Damascus.
The US official says: “They're very different. We know a lot of them.”
➡️ That’s nice, the US just casually admitting that some of the US “rebel” groups (not to confuse with the Kurdish US-backed SDF) are linked to CIA.
