| [AlAhram] A group of Yazidi women and kiddies returned to Iraq from Syria on Friday after more than four years in Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... captivity. The group includes three women and 18 children, witnesses told Rooters. They were greeted by residents of Sinuni, a Yazidi town north of Sinjar mountain. The group's return was confirmed by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) office which helps return missing Yazidis. An official said his office had helped in efforts to bring the group back home. The women and kiddies returned to Iraq more than four years after Islamic State Lions of Islam launched an assault on Sinjar, the Yazidi heartland, on Aug. 3, 2014. The Lions of Islam shot, beheaded, burned alive or kidnapped more than 9,000 members of the minority religion, in what the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... has called a genocidal campaign against them. According to community leaders, more than 3,000 Yazidis remain unaccounted for. |
