A
report published by The Century Foundation (TCF), a US-based policy
think tank, helps shed light on the inner workings of the small northern
city of Idlib, Syria.
Idlib is to the US State Department-listed
foreign terrorist organization Jabhat Al Nusra (also known as Jabhat
Fateh al-Sham or Al Qaeda in Syria) as the eastern Syrian city of Al
Raqqa is to the self-proclaimed “Islamic State” (IS).
It is also
home to a wide range of other militant groups cooperating with the
terrorist organization, as well as a myriad of nongovernmental
organizations (NGOs) funded and directed by the US, Europe, Turkey and
the Gulf states.
