Jihadists from the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS or ISIL) have seized parts of a military base in Syria’s Raqa province in an assault that left dozens dead, a rights group said Thursday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the extremist group, which calls itself the Islamic State, was engaged in heavy fighting with troops at Brigade 93 in Raqa, where it already controls the regional capital and significant amounts of territory.
