Two ISIS militants surrender to Peshmerga, defections growing
2015-10-25
[Rudaw] ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Two Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) forces of Evil surrendered to Peshmerga forces near Gwer late Friday, said Sirwan Barzani, commander of the front some 50 miles south of Erbil.

"Last night, at around 10pm, two ISIS forces of Evil surrendered to the Peshmerga in the village of Sultan Abdulla," said Barzani.

To make sure those who surrender are not disguised jacket wallahs, Barzani told Rudaw, the Peshmerga ask the ISIS forces of Evil to get undressed and leave clothes and possessions behind.

"They know if they stay with the group their lives would be at stake or they may be killed on day in assaults," Barzani said of the growing number of ISIS defections.

Four other ISIS forces of Evil surrendered to the Kurdish forces near Gwer earlier this month.

"We fled for two reasons, fearing death and starvation," One of the four ISIS forces of Evil told Rudaw. "There is no trust within the organization [ISIS], if they suspect a krazed killer they will kill him right away."

With several forces of Evil handing themselves over to the Peshmerga on the Kirkuk front the beginning of October the number of ISIS defectors this month adds up to 15.

"At around 5:30 am on Sunday, three ISIS forces of Evil who were Kurdish nationals arrived at a Peshmerga front line in Kirkuk to surrender," Brigadier General Kakamand Kak Rash, commander of the Peshmerga's Emergency and Defense Forces in Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
told Rudaw.

#3   "There is no trust within the organization [ISIS], if they suspect a krazed killer they will kill him right away."

Considering it's ex-Saddam Russian Soviet-trained Baathists running Islamic States' Eastern Front with a mixed bag force, it's not surprising.
