let's bring in nick paton walsh joining us from the border between turkey and syria. what are you picking up over there, nick? >> as part of those air strikes around, there was perhaps an unintended or intended consequence, one of the buildings hit as they went after them, which hasn't figured much on the battlefield at all, they weren't a name particular to most of syria, part of those strikes overnight hit a political headquarters for another organization known as ahrar al sham. they are syrian rebels not linked to al qaeda, not allied to al qaeda and not prescribed as a terror group by the united states. their building was certainly hit according to monitors and activists and witnesses on the ground. that may be because the u.s. was trying to get some horazan members inside at the time. there are a lot of quite confused and angry syrians who consider the u.s. targeting, nusra, an al qaeda affiliate, but have popularity among syrians because they fight febtively against the syrians in the war, now they're targeting ahrar al sham, two groups to protect from the syria

i want to bring in nick paton walsh in southern turkey. good morning, nick. >> reporter: christine, this development near the town in northwest syria is not really going to change the war inside syria, but it is bad news for the limited policy the u.s. is implemented so far in backing syrian rebels. two groups, the nusra front have been supplied through the allies. the nusra group allies to al qaeda, are a dominant force in the area. in the last week, moving against the movements and syrian front. the moderate groups pushing them out of the towns they considered to be the strongholds. in fact, they have taken weapons from the moderate groups. that is very bad news for u. policy. the negotiations seems to be ongoing. it is not a done deal. when the u.s. is looking to boost these moderate rebels and making them a plank in the ground force and see them losing territory, 70% of the territory according to one, so quickly and so little come back is bad news for washington. >> nick, thank you for that from turkey. >>> homeland security officials
