The main Islamist rebel groups in Aleppo, a key front line in Syria's civil war, have rejected the newly formed opposition bloc, saying they want an Islamic state, as clashes raged countrywide."We, the fighting squads of Aleppo city and province, unanimously reject the conspiratorial project called the National Coalition and announce our consensus to establish an Islamic state" in Syria, a spokesperson announced in an internet video on Monday.
"We reject any external coalitions or councils imposed on us at home from any party whatsoever," he said.
The EU recognised the new coalition on Monday as "legitimate representatives" of the Syrian people, but did not grant it full recognition.
In the video posted online, the unidentified speaker sits at the head of a long table with at least 30 others, in front of a black Islamist flag.
He listed some 14 armed groups as signatories to the statement, including the Al-Nusra Front, Ahrar al-Sham and Liwa al-Tawhid, who reject the opposition coalition.The Ahrar al-Sham group rejected the proclamation on its official web page, however, saying that its leadership did not endorse the statement.
"These groups represent a number of military factions on the ground and reflect their position, but not all military forces in Aleppo agree with this"

Head of FSA in Aleppo
The Al-Nusra Front, a formidable fighting force, has claimed the majority of suicide bombings in Syria's deadly 20-month-old conflict.
Abdel Jabbar al-Okaidi, the head of the mainstream rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA) in the embattled northern city of Aleppo, told the AFP news agency that the statement did not represent the opinion of all rebel groups in the province.
