British jihadists refusing to leave Syria

Jihadists from the UK are still fighting in Idlib – some of the last British extremists in Syria – and some are allied to the al-Qaeda linked Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, once know as the Nusra front.

It’s accused of torture and random killings, is a terrorist group in the eyes of most governments, and it has Idlib in its grip.
