Exclusive: Former Isis fighter tells The Independent that Turkey is using the name of the now defunct, Western-backed Free Syrian Army to conceal its use of jihadi mercenaries

Turkey is recruiting and retraining Isis fighters to lead its invasion of the Kurdish enclave of Afrin in northern Syria, according to an ex-Isis source.

"Most of those who are fighting in Afrin against the YPG [People's Protection Units] are Isis, though Turkey has trained them to change their assault tactics," said Faraj, a former Isis fighter from north-east Syria who remains in close touch with the jihadi movement.
