"The United States has not met to date with the Islamic Front but it's possible it could take place," Kerry told a news conference in Manila where he is visiting.
"There is an effort afoot among all of the supporting nations of the Syrian opposition to want to broaden the base of the moderate opposition and broaden the base of representation of the Syrian people in the Geneva two negotiation," he added.
Meanwhile the Islamic Front was also busy denying it met with US officials. And a member of the "political bureau" said that the group would not fight al Qaeda, Asharq Al Awsat reported.
Meanwhile, an official of the Islamic Front's political bureau, Abdallah Al-Hamawi, denied the reports and said they were "lies, and their objectives were clear, and we will not allow them to cause sedition".
He added on his Twitter account that the Islamic Front "will not fight the al Qaeda organization because it [Islamic Front] was founded to form a link for jihadists", and that it would not fight a proxy war or cause division between the jihadists.
