Anne Barnard on Idlib

"It was seized last month by Islamist insurgent groups that included Al Qaeda’s Syrian branch, the Nusra Front, but not the rival Islamic State group".  Notice that she always mentions "rebels including Nusrah Front" when in reality, Nusrah Front would be the lead force in the operation.  Also, notice her distinction between the moderate Bin Ladenitesof Nusrah and the extreme Bin Ladenites of ISIS.
