NYT: When Terrorists Run City Hall
We collected thousands of internal documents that help explain how the Islamic State held onto power for so long.
Standout investigative reporting from the New York Times. Over a year, reporters sifted through 15,000 pages of documents to better understand how the “government” of the Islamic State worked. The NYT found that ISIS was much more than a guerrilla terrorist group relying on outside donations to stay afloat. They had a system that somewhat resembled a functioning, modern government.
