During the course of the Syrian civil war many foreign fighters have been documented to have fought for Syria's rebel forces, either for the Nusra Front, the Free Syrian Army or other factions. Many foreign fighters have also died in the conflict. Fighters include those from the Gulf Arab states, Tunisia (following its own Tunisian revolution), Libya (following the similar Libyan civil war), Bosnia, China, other Arab states, Russia's Chechnya and North Caucasus region, Western countries (despite warnings of radicalism from those governments). The conflict has taken on a largely sectarian bent with predominantly foreign Sunnis fighting for the opposition, while foreign Shias fight for the government. Over 600 foreign fighters were killed in the first half of 2013.
