They are not new but were affiliated with Al Qaeda for a short time but supposedly even Al Qaeda denounced them for being too extreme. They aren't however the usual tangos as this group actually released their plans for Syria way back in 2008 or 07 and have systematically done what they said they would do. They actually now control much of the electric in Syria and the Syrian govt now has to buy electricity from them. They also systematically go in and take over tax collections in the areas they control creating money to back their cause.
They actually openly state that their goal is to take control of all the oil in Syria and Iraq. That's why they are moving on Iraq now. If you search around you can find the map online of their plans.. They have pretty big ambitions for themselves..
