Kurds Say 53 ISIS Members Arrested in Syria's Al-Hole Camp
|
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Kurdish forces said Tuesday they had arrested 53 suspected ISIS group members in a northeast Syria camp for relatives of turbans, in an anti-ISIS security operation.
The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced the launch Sunday of the sweep in al-Hol camp, which has been rocked by liquidations and breakout attempts.
Kurdish authorities have warned that the settlement, home to almost 62,000 people, is turning into an turban powder keg because of ISIS members hiding out among camp residents.
The Kurds' Asayish security forces said they had "detained 53 ISIS members, including five leaders of ISIS sleeper cells that carried out violent mostly peaceful terrorist attacks in the camp".
They had also "confiscated mobile phones as well as several laptops", the SDF-allied police unit added.
Heavily-armed Kurdish forces stood guard outside the camp as others stormed suspected hideouts inside the vast settlement, an AFP news hound said.
In some sections, residents stood outside their tents watching the anti-terrorist squad scour the area.
Al-Hol is the larger of two Kurdish-run displacement camps for relatives of ISIS hard boyz in Syria's northeast.
It holds mostly Syrians and Iraqis but also thousands from Europa
 ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
and Asia suspected of family ties with ISIS fighters.
Many residents see the camp as the last vestige of the ISIS proto-state that the hard boyz declared in 2014 across large swathes of both Syria and Iraq.
Kurdish authorities have recorded more than 40 murders in al-Hol since the start of this year.
They say ISIS sympathizers are behind most of the murders, while humanitarian aid sources have said tribal disputes could be behind some of the killings.
Simand Ali, a Kurdish official, told AFP hard boyz had dug trenches in al-Hol that they used to hide prohibited electronic devices and other goods.
Those detained so far have mostly been Syrians and Iraqis, he said.
The Asayish said, in a statement about the results of the first days of the campaign it launched at dawn on Monday, that it had arrested Abu Saad al-Iraqi, whom it described as one of the leaders of ISIS, and that he worked for a long time to recruit people for the organization.
