  • A pretty clever move by IS to have one of the gunmen infiltrate the mediterranean stream of refugees - or at least create the impression that that was how it happened.
    You can't build a state if the civilians keep fleeing from it. That one fairly simple move made it that much harder for average Syrians to get out of IS' claws.
