8 Portuguese men charged with fighting for IS in Syria
|
[Ynet] Prosecutors in Portugal said Wednesday they were bringing terror charges against eight Portuguese men suspected of fighting for the Islamic State
 ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group in Syria.
Prosecutors said in a statement the men were suspected of involvement in the 2012 kidnapping by the group of British war correspondent John Cantlie
| ...captured by ISIS in July 2012 along with Jeroen Oerlemens, they were freed by the Free Syrian Army a week later, then Mr. Cantlie was captured again by ISIS in November 2012 with American newsie John Foley. He was last seen in an ISIS video in 2016. There were rumours he had been spotted in Hajin, Syria at the beginning of 2019... |
and Dutch photographer Jeroen Oerlemens.
| ...after his release by the original FSA, which dissolved shortly thereafter, he continued his war correspondent career until he was shot dead by an ISIS sniper in Sirte, Libya in 2016... |
The case was opened in 2013 after Portuguese authorities received information about the kidnappings from British authorities.
Over the past six years Sherlocks have traced the radicalization and movements of the men, the statement said.
They converted to Islam and joined Islamic State group, the statement said, and traveled to Syria with their wives and children.
They are accused of joining, supporting and recruiting on behalf of a terror organization.
Two of them are in Portugal and have been interrogated, the statement said. The whereabouts of the other six wasn't known.
