<p>A number of armed groups operate in Idlib province, several of which have either
engaged in or pose a risk of kidnap for ransom. There remains a very high risk of
kidnapping in Idlib and throughout Syria, which can be for financial or political
gain. An individual's occupation may not protect them against kidnapping, and many
terrorists in Syria view those engaged in humanitarian aid work as legitimate targets.
We continue to advise British nationals against travel to Syria and our Travel Advice
highlights the very real threat from kidnapping.</p>
