Amnesty International released a report alleging that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham operates seven detention centers in Raqqah and Aleppo where civilians, including children, are flogged, tortured, and murdered. The rights group also called on Turkey to "prevent its territory being used by ISIS to bring in arms and recruits to Syria." A suicide bomber detonated in Deir Izzour, and gunmen killed a Kurdish intervention force commander in the Dulab al-Uweis area. The UK offered to help destroy Syria's chemical weapons.
