A view shows a room inside a former base used by fighters from the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), overlooking the town of Azaz after the ISIL withdrew from it, near the Syrian-Turkish border, March 11, 2014.

For Syrians who three years ago rose up against 43 years of Assad family rule, living under the hard-line Sunni jihadists who said they had come to save them from the president's atrocities was even worse than Assad himself.
