SHOTLIST:

ALEPPO, SYRIA (JAN. 27, 2026) (ANADOLU - ACCESS ALL)

1. VARIOUS OF WIDE SHOT OF FRENCH COMPANY LAFARGE'S CEMENT PLANT ALEPPO, SYRIA - JAN. 27, 2026: Footage by Anadolu released on Tuesday, Jan. 27, shows the French company Lafarge’s cement plant in Syria, as allegations persist that the firm collaborated with ISIS during the conflict.

The factory is in a rural part of Ayn al-Arab (Kobani) district in Syria’s Aleppo province, where conditions have recently changed after the Syrian army retook several areas from the YPG/SDF.

Lafarge is accused of financing the terrorist organization Daesh (ISIS) during the Syrian civil war.

- Anadolu published evidence proving Lafarge financed ISIS terror group

On Sept. 7, 2021, Anadolu drew international attention by publishing documents proving that Lafarge financed the ISIS (Daesh) terror group with the knowledge of French intelligence.

As part of an investigation launched in June 2017, several senior executives, including Lafont, were charged with financing terrorism.

On Oct. 16, 2024, three investigating judges decided that the Lafarge group and four of its former executives would stand trial on charges of financing a terror group and violating the EU embargo that bans all financial and commercial relations with terror groups, including ISIS.
