Three Iraqis killed in Syria's Al-Hol camp: Monitor
|
[AlAhram] Three Iraqi nationals, including a woman, were killed in violence inside the northeastern Syrian camp of al-Hol that houses relatives of suspected jihadists, a monitor said Saturday.
The overcrowded camp is under the control of the Kurdish administration running the region but violence, mostly perpetrated by 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, is frequent.
According to the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights, a woman originally from the northern Iraqi city of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
died of bullet wounds on Saturday.
On Friday, two Iraqi refugees were killed by suspected IS button men inside a section of the camp where those who have received threats are usually sheltered, Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.
Al-Hol is home to an estimated 62,000 people, half of whom are Iraqi nationals.
Most of the camp's residents are people who fled or surrendered during the dying days of IS's self-proclaimed caliphate.
Relatives of suspected foreign IS fighters are held in a separate high-security enclosure.
Al-Hol is rife with IS sleeper cells and weapons. Breakout attempts, attacks on guards, aid workers and members of displaced families are common.
A massive security sweep of the camp in March had led to he arrest of more than 100 suspected IS sympathisers.
The Observatory's Abdel Rahman said "the latest violence could touch off a fresh escalation in the murder rate inside the camp."
Seventy-eight people have been killed in al-Hol so far this year, 58 of them Iraqis, according to the Britannia-based war monitor.
The Kurdish authorities running the area consistently said they did not have the capacity to organise trials for all the detained foreign suspects nor support their families.
Western countries have been wary of the impact mass repatriations could have on domestic security and public opinion.
The living conditions in the desert camp are dire and many organizations have described al-Hol as a security and humanitarian time bomb.
