Six killed by IS in Syria's Al-Hol camp this month: Monitor

[AlAhram] Six people, including four women, were killed in Syria's al-Hol camp for displaced persons 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 in December, a Britannia-based war monitor group said Sunday.

The camp, which is controlled by the Kurdish-led autonomous administration in northeastern Syria, houses about 62,000 displaced persons, including relatives of IS fighters.

About 93 percent are women and kiddies, and about half come from Iraq.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which has a wide network of sources in Syria, "six liquidations were committed" in the camp by IS cells since the start of December.

The last victim to date was rubbed out on Saturday.

The victims include three Iraqis, two men and one woman as well as two Syrian women and one woman whose identity is unknown, the observatory said.

Since the start of the year, the number of killings in the camp has been on the rise.

Some 86 people were killed, including 63 Iraqi refugees who resided in al-Hol, according to the monitor's toll.

Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman warned that "chaos and insecurity persist within the camp", labelling it a "ticking time bomb" in comments to AFP.

In March, the Kurdish-led authorities launched a major operation in the camp during which they arrested 125 alleged IS members.
