The “Super Jihadi of France” and leader of al-Ghurabaa groups Omar Diabi, between the rumor of his death in clash alongside al-Nusra Front and being arrested by it on charges of “splitting the line”

The information about the arrest of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham for the French jihadist leader Omar Diabi -known as “Omar Omsin”- is still contradicted, as the case of arresting Omsin is unclear, where he held a senior leadership position within the “jihadist” section of the factions operating in Syria, by receiving the command of the “al-Ghurabaa Squad” which he founded by himself, and which includes western, Moroccan, and African fighters, and in the details documented by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights about Omar Omsin: the leader is of Senegalese origin and of French nationality, and the information reported his arrest and imprisoning him in one the undeclared prisons of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham, which accused him of attempting to split the line and persuade the non-Syrian fighters of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham to join the ranks of the Division he founded in 2013 when he entered the Syrian territory, coming from his place of residence in city of Nice, France.

Al-Ghurabaa group which was founded by Omar Diabi took part in the clashes of control over Idlib Province, and participated in the clashes against Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham and the Islamic factions operating in Idlib and the western countryside of Aleppo, despite their involvement in efforts to stop clashes against the Jund al-Aqsa organization, of which part of its fighters swore allegiance to the “Islamic State” organization later, while Omsin was injured during clashes in the Syrian north, and despite confirmations by French sources and other sources close to the family of Omsin in France, other sources denied his death and alleged that his team misled to public opinion in order to be able to move Omsin after his injury and treat him in a neighboring country, where he came back and show up in a video in August 2016.

Also “Omar Omsin” aka “the Super Jihad of France”, arrived in the Syrian territory in 2013, and he was the founder and leader of a battalion named “al-Ghurabaa Division”, which includes tens of French fighters and fighters of Tunisian, Algerian, Moroccan, and African nationalities, were Omsin was accused of recruiting tens of French and Moroccan youths to move to and fight in Syria within the ranks of the jihadist groups.
