As heard on the National Public Radio [NPR] radio broadcast an update on the Khorasan Group.

These particulars apply:

* Are not an affiliate of Al Qaeda. Are hard core Al Qaeda.

* Embedded within the Al Nusra Front for security purposes.

* Consists of about twenty-five unlawful enemy combatants and about one hundred support personnel.

* Function as a Shura [council] and as a Forward Operating Base [FOB].

* Poach foreign combatants from among the various other anti-Assad factions fighting in Syria.

Khorasan hoping to take advantage of the chaos in Syria, train and deploy operatives for foreign operations.
