The Free Syrian Army has announced it had fired Selim Idriss as its military chief and appointed Abdel al-Ilah al-Bachir to replace him.
In a video broadcast on the Internet yesterday, the rebel coalition said its military council had decided to replace Idriss because of "the difficulties faced by the Syrian revolution" in its battle with President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
