The Al Nusrah Front carried out two suicide car bombings outside the al-Kandi hospital in Aleppo city. Islamists and al Qaeda-linked groups took over the hospital, which is near Aleppo Central Prison. Three Hezbollah fighters were killed in clashes with Al Nusrah, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham, and Islamic battalions in Reef Dimashq. Syria’s prime minister blamed Lebanon for facilitating the entry of rebels into Syria, and credited Hezbollah with helping to prevent some of the terrorist activity along the border, particularly in Qusayr. Syrian National Coalition president Ahmed Al-Jarbat said Syrian Kurds would participate in Geneva II with two delegations, one with the opposition and the other with the regime.
