The Syrian National Coalition elected “moderate Islamist” Ahmad Tumeh as the SNC’s provisional prime minister. Tumeh plans to run the SNC provisional government from northern Syria; its financing is expected to come primarily from the Gulf, and Saudi Arabia in particular. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant clashed with regime forces on the perimeter of the 66th Division in Hama; yesterday ISIL claimed it took over a military base and arms depot in a major operation a few days earlier in the area. A Syrian jihadist media outlet released a video on behalf of the Jund al Sham battalion showing deceased German jihadists.
