A Syrian rebel coalition that includes an offshoot of al-Qaeda has captured the city of Idlib. It is the second major Syrian city to fall to the rebels after Raqqa, which is now under control of the self-proclaimed Islamic State. The rebel coalition in Idlib includes the al-Nusra Front, al-Qaeda’s Syrian affiliate. Thousands of residents have reportedly fled the city out of fear of government reprisals as well as militant attacks on Assad regime supporters.
