The Free Syrian Army (FSA) is the armed part of syrian opposition that fights in the Syrian Civil War. It fights the Syrian Army, the Kurds and sometimes also Islamists.[1] Its colonel is Riad al-Asaad. The FSA was founded on July 29th, 2011 by seven officers.[2] The bulk of the FSA is made up of Sunnis, especially Islamists. Many have even left the FSA and joined Al-Qaeda affiliate Jahbat al-Nusra.[3]
