Anas Khattab: From Emir in Jabhat al-Nusra to Minister of Interior in Syria’s De Facto Jihadist Authority
🔎 Anas Khattab, alias “Abu Ahmad Hodoud,” originates from deeply entrenched jihadist roots.
He is a founding member and former administrative emir of Jabhat al-Nusra (2013) and is officially listed on international terrorism sanctions lists.
📚 A brief review of his background reveals dozens of publications grounded in Salafi-jihadist ideology.
His writings openly: Promote violence and armed jihad Advocate for takfīr (excommunication) of other religious and ethnic communities
• Attack Western values, particularly democracy
• Condemn even Sunni Muslims who refuse to join the jihad
🛑 In his updated publications (May 2022), Khattab openly promotes violent jihad, branding Sunni Muslims who lived under the former regime as apostates for residing under what he describes as a “Nusayri polytheistic system.”
He also condemns Sunni communities in Idlib for failing to engage in armed jihad in what he calls the “path of God.”
