A monitoring group said, Islamist fighters seized a suburb east of Damascus on Sunday after driving out a smaller rival insurgent group in deadly clashes, the latest example of rebel infighting in Syria's nearly four-year conflict. the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, fighters from the Army of Islam clashed with members of the Army of the Nation group in Douma. Both groups include Sunni Muslim fighters opposed to President Bashar al-Assad's government, and the fighting is seen as more of a turf war than a conflict over ideology. http://bit.ly/1rUQI9G http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
