Posted: 23 Sep 2013 03:17 AM PDT

In this Thursday, Sept. 19, 2013 photo, smoke rises after a bomb was thrown from a helicopter, hitting a rebel position during heavy fighting between troops loyal to president Bashar Assad and opposition fighters, in Idlib province, Syria.

The immediate result, this week, has been an uptick in infighting between moderate and jihadi rebels.(AP Photo)CAIRO (AP) — An Al-Qaida group in Syria says one of its top commanders in Syria was killed in an ambush by rival, Western-backed rebels in a northern province.
