Coming from Islamist families and with battlefield experience honed fighting US forces in Iraq, a diverse group of Islamists find themselves imprisoned in the infamous Sednaya prison. The founders of Ahrar al Sham meet and group up to survive in the fractious ideological environment. In April 2011, the group gets released as part of a cynical ploy to justify the Assad regime's brutal crackdown on peaceful Arab Spring protests. They arm and declare their independence from FSA, Al Qaeda, and the Muslim Brotherhood.
