Ramita Navai is a reporter who spent two weeks undercover in Syria. She tells The Takeaway about her experience and she’s also the star of the upcoming Frontline documentary “Syria Undercover.” Today the New York Times is reporting that Turkey is sheltering members of the Free Syrian Army, an armed opposition group attempting to bring down the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The group has been staging attacks inside Syria and plotting those same attacks from a camp that is being actively guarded by the Turkish military. Turkey says it is protecting the group out of humanitarian concern, but the move underscores the changing political landscape of the region.
