2019-01-07
Two? Anyone we know?
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The US-backed force known as the Syrian Democratic Forces announced that it captured five ISIS members in the Death Eater group last stronghold in Deir Ezzor province, east of the Euphrates river, bordering Iraq.

Among the five two from the United States and others from Ireland and Pakistain, according to SDF.

In a blurb on Sunday, SDF confirmed capturing the five ISIS members, saying that "They were preparing to launch attacks against the fleeing civilians from that areas" pointing out that the capture happened on December 30.

According to field sources, the SDF only announced the news after it finished interrogation with the five elements.

The five are American Warren Christopher Clark (34 year) from Huston, who goes by the name "American Abu Mohammad" and American from Arab origin Zaid Abed al-Hamed known by "American Abu Zaid".

around 1,000 imported muscle of ISIS during its control of vast areas in Syria.

Among those captured, Death Eaters who were part of a notorious kidnapping cell dubbed "The Beatles" known for torturing hostages and executing foreign journalists in Syria and Iraq, in addition to another fighter from al-Qaeda, known to have met with the terrorist group’s leader the late Osama bin Laden

, before he was killed.

Most of the foreign governments refuse to repatriate their citizens who were fighting with ISIS, while Kurdish officials say "they cannot detain them (ISIS fighters) forever, calling the international community to "find a solution."

In contrast to what is happening in Iraq, where the Iraqi judicial authorities sentenced more than 300 members of the Death Eater group, including 100 foreigners to life imprisonment or death, the Kurdish authorities and their local allies in Syria refuse to prosecute captured ISIS fighters while they only prosecute the Death Eater group local members without carrying out the death penalty
The Syrian Democratic Forces, the armed wing of the Kurdish-dominated Democratic Council of Syria, fought its last battles against ISIS in Deir al-Zour, ending its long-standing rule in several Syrian regions.
The Daily Mail has Mr. Clark’s ISIS job application, in which he explains that he has a bachelor's degree from the University of Houston and worked as a teacher in Texas before teaching English in Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Whether he was subsequently allowed to teach at the University of Mosul instead of being sent to the front lines is not clear.
