What Does ISIS Want?

Tomorrow the representatives of the Syrian regime and political opposition are due to meet at Geneva II conference in Switzerland. The aim of the UN-brokered meeting is to agree on measures including a ceasefire, prisoner release and transitional government.

The situation on the ground in Syria, however, threatens to derails talks. The opposition is factional and includes terrorist group ISIS, the Al Qaeda affiliate in Syria. The Economist had posted a brief description of the group online. To read the article, please click here.
