[14 Jan 2014] The Debate - Syria Situation - English
The al-Qaeda-affiliated Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant is said to have taken the northern Syrian city of Raqqah following deadly clashes with rival insurgent groups. The extremists have been executing people, preventing the delivery of humanitarian aid and enforcing a strictly fundamental form of what they call Sharia law on areas they\'ve occupied. So how has all this affected the war against President Bashar al Assad and the international support it\'s been getting? Can the upcoming peace conference help resolve the crisis?
