Today on the BBC news website, a video was shown of an abducted U.S. Military contractor. The article claims that the flag in the background is that of As-saib Ahl al Haq, which translates as "The League of the Righteous" or "The League of
the Virtuous."

"Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq (AAH; Arabic: عصائب أهل الحق ‘Aṣayib Ahl al-Haq, "League
of the Righteous") also known as the Khazali Network is an Iraqi Shi'a Islamist
paramilitary group operating in Iraq and Syria. It is known as Iraq's largest
"Special Group", the Americans' term for Iran-backed Shia paramilitaries in
Iraq. The group emerged in 2006."

The top white Arabic slogan on this black-field flag is the Shahada mantra,
and the bottom line reads: "Liwa al-Haq" (or "Al-Haq Battalion"). Haq may also
be spelled as Haqq. Given the different al-Haq militias roaming around the
Middle East, this one has been identified as operating against pro-Assad Syrian
forces. As seen in the northwestern Idlib province; c. Dec. 2014. Supposedly in
late Jan. 2017 this group merged with others to become:
Tahir al-Sham.
