Syrian opposition slams al-Qaida-linked terrorists
None
Syria's main Western-backed opposition group has slammed al-Qaida-linked gunmen and their expanding influence in the country, saying the jihadis seek to establish an Islamic state in Syria.
A statement on Friday from the Syrian National Coalition follows days of vicious infighting in which the extremists seized control of the northern town of Azaz from mainstream opposition fighters. The SNC says the actions of the al-Qaida-linked terrorists "counter the principals that the Syrian revolution is trying to achieve." (AP)
