SDF arrest 13 ISIS suspects in al-Hol anti-smuggling op
[Rudaw] Kurdish forces arrested 13 people, including eight Iraqis, accused of smuggling people out of the notorious al-Hol camp in northeast Syria (Rojava), the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced early Saturday, the latest operation in an effort to combat rising crime in the sprawling camp.

"A further 13 individuals including 8 #Iraqis have been detained for their role in people smuggling out of #AlHol Camp. #SDF forces remain committed to improving the camp conditions for the residents," the SDF tweeted.

Colonel Wayne Marotto, spokesperson for the global coalition against 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....
(ISIS), said that the persons arrested are suspected ISIS members. "The Coalition stands by the SDF in its efforts to #DefeatISIS & promote security & stability in NE Syria," he tweeted.

More than 150 people have been arrested since late March after a spate of murders in the camp this year. The Asayish security forces on April 2 announced they’d made 125 arrests in a five-day operation and another 31 people have been detained in the past week, according to the SDF.

Nearly half the camp’s residents, more than 30,000, are Iraqis, according to data provided to Rudaw English by Sheikhmus Ahmed, who supervises the administration of Rojava’s IDP and refugee camps.

Iraq has resisted repatriating its nationals because of security concerns around bringing suspected ISIS members home, but a plan is now in the works to send 500 families back to Iraq in a phased operation. An Iraqi humanitarian organization has begun registering Iraqis at al-Hol camp to facilitate their repatriation, Ahmed said on Wednesday. The first group is expected to move in the coming days.
