| [Rudaw] Seven ISIS holy warriors--including three Kurds--have surrendered to the Peshmerga since Saturday in Kirkuk and the township of Gwer, some 80 kilometers (50 miles) south of Erbil, Peshmerga officials have told Rudaw. "At around 5:30 am on Sunday, three ISIS Lions of Islam who were Kurdish nationals arrived at a Peshmerga front line in Kirkuk to surrender. Two of them were from the township of Said Sadiq in the Sulaimani province and one from Erbil," Brigadier General Kakamand Kak Rash, commander of the Peshmerga's Emergency and Defense Forces in Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... told Rudaw. "The surrendered Lions of Islam escaped ISIS in djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... and managed to reach Peshmerga front lines in Kirkuk, and they went back on joining and fighting for the myrmidon group," Kak Rash added. The commander also told Rudaw that the Lions of Islam would be treated according to the terror law and "for more investigations we handed them over to the Asayish (security forces) to know whether they have taken part in any battle and crime against the Peshmerga." In a separate incident, four ISIS Lions of Islam came to a Peshmerga front line Saturday morning to surrender in the township of Gwer, another Peshmerga official told Rudaw Saturday. "Four ISIS Lions of Islam named Abdulrazaq Mohammed, Mahmoud Mohammed, Mohammed Saeed and Hassan Faraj fled their military units to the Peshmerga front line to surrender," Captain Abdulla Framarz, a Peshmerga commander on the Gwer front line, told Rudaw. According to Framarz, investigations would soon take place with the surrendered Lions of Islam and later "we will send their cases to the court and the Peshmerga ministry." Speaking to Rudaw, one of the ISIS Lions of Islam said, "We fled for two reasons, fearing death and starvation." The ISIS holy warrior told Rudaw they had fought for ISIS since June 2014 and now "there is no trust within the organization [ISIS], if they suspect a holy warrior they will kill him right away." |
