Kamal Hamami, of the group's Supreme Military Council, was meeting members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant "to discuss battle plans".

A Free Syrian Army spokesman said he received a call from the group saying they had killed Kamal Hamami.

It is part of an escalating struggle within the armed uprising between moderates and Islamists.

The BBC's Paul Wood says a civil war within a civil war is building within the opposition as the two sides engage in a battle that is partly over the spoils and partly ideological.

Do you have a score card? This is really embarrassing. I forgot which side I am supposed to cheer on to victory.

Ah... meeting with the "Islamic State of Iraq" al-Qaeda - aligned terror group. Wasn't Hamami one of McCain's purported "moderates?"
