The Authenticity and Development Front (Asala wa-al-Tanmiya) is a US-backed alliance of rebel groups that have been active during the Syrian Civil War, and includes Islamists, military defectors, and civilian rebels.[3][4] The Authenticity and Development Front is funded by Saudi Arabia.[14] Although the alliance uses FSA flags and symbols, it doesn't identify itself as part of the Free Syrian Army.[15] One of the groups that was involved is the Harakat Nour al-Din al-Zenki, which was also part of the Army of Mujahedeen,[3] though the Army of Mujahedeen announced on 4 May 2014 that the Nour al-Din al-Zanki Islamic Brigades had withdrawn from the coalition.[16] Another group involved in the coalition is the Ahl al-Athar Brigade.[2] The Authenticity and Development Front operated American-made BGM-71 TOW weapons captured from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.[17]
