U.S., Syrian Opposition in Dispute Over Al-Qaeda Associated Forces

The recognition, which followed more than a year of international pressure on Syria's disparate opposition groups to better organize themselves and begin preparing for a post-Assad Syria, was overshadowed by reports that the regime of President Bashar al-Assad has started firing Scud missiles at rebel strongholds.
