According to the article the author says "Raqqa, ISIS 'Capital; Is Captured, U.S-Backed Forces Say"
American-backed forces said on Tuesday that they had seized the northern Syrian city of Raqqa from the Islamic State, a major blow to the militant group, which had long used the city as the 'de facto' capital of its self declared 'caliphate'.
The United States Central Command stopped short of declaring victory, saying that more than 90 percent of Raqqa is in S.D.F. control, a reference to the Syrian Democratic Forces, an American-backed militia group made up of Syrian Kurds and Arabs.
