BEIRUT: The main Islamist rebel groups in Aleppo province, including Al-Nusra Front and Liwa al-Tawhid, have rejected a newly-formed Syrian opposition bloc, saying they want an Islamic state, in a video posted on the Internet Monday.
"We, the fighting squads of Aleppo city and province, unanimously reject the conspiratorial project of the National Coalition and announce our consensus to establish an Islamic state" in Syria, the statement said. (AFP)
