Brigadier Selim Idris was chosen from among hundreds of officers, who have defected, to lead Syria's rebel military.
His selection took place in Turkey, amid the heavily Islamist leaders of the opposition, backed by the Muslim Brotherhood.
Damascus continues to be a scene of extremely heavy fighting. Rebel forces claim to have taken a military base full of tanks, on Saturday.
As the international community warns the national government to not use the nerve gas they've begun preparing, a video has surfaced claiming to be from the rebel forces.
In the graphic video we see a lot of bottles labeled with names of chemicals. During the entirety of it Islamist chants can be heard. Then we see two rabbits in a glass cage, a man puts a substance, and then seals the cage.
Within minutes the rabbits are dead after suffering through convulsions, apparently caused by a nerve agent. A voice then states, "You saw what happened? This will be your fate, you infidel Alawites, I swear by allah to make you die like these rabbits, one minute only after you inhale the gas."
Again this is a graphic video, you may not want children seeing.
