Muhammad Yusuf Uthman Abd al Salam founded Jund al-Aqsa, a Salafist jihadist group active in the Syrian Civil War, and was a longtime veteran of al-Qaeda. By 2020 the opening said he "was allegedly affiliated with a number of terrorist organizations including the al-Nusra Front, al-Qaeda in Iraq, and ISIS." Today the same sentence calls the same groups "militant organizations," and the word terrorist does not appear in the opening, though it survives 3 times in the body. A reader today learns that al-Nusra Front, al-Qaeda in Iraq and ISIS are militant organizations, not that Wikipedia's own earlier opening called them terrorist organizations.
