3:13 am
we have just spent two days in raqqa with american backed fighters and we saw, a skeleton of a city. just block after block that has been left devastated, by months of fighting as well as u.s. coalition air strikes. a u.s. special operations commander here in syria, told us that around 2,000 civilians are still trapped in the city. they are unable to escape, the small area still controlled by isis gunmen. now, raqqa was a place where isis revelled in its own brutality. carrying out public beheadings and revealing its leaders to be blood thirsty killers. it is a twisted version of islam that is unrecognizable to most muslims. the loss of raqqa is obviously symbolic because it was the so-called isis capital. but along with the loss of other towns and cities in syria and iraq, it may also weaken the group's ability to carry out terror attacks here in the middle east and elsewhere. elaine. >> holly williams. thanks.
