Islamists Reject Syrian Coalition

A group purporting to represent thirteen Syrian rebel groups, based in Aleppo, has rejected the coalition government that was supposed to represent all Syrian rebel forces.

In an internet video they state that they will not support the Western backed coalition, but instead will ensure that an Islamist state takes over Syria.

It is unclear if the video is real or is a fake created by the Assad regime, in order to discredit the coalition.

Eight countries have so far recognized the coalition as the only representative of the Syrian people.

On Monday, the EU recognized them as a "legitimate representative", but stopped short of giving them the sole title.

British Foreign Secretary William Hague is supposed to make a statement to Parliament, on Tuesday, during which he is expected to recognize the coalition.
