| [Rudaw] Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) continue to capture foreign ISIS fighters in their last holdout east of the Euphrates in al-Baghhouz. The SDF announced six imported muscle were captured alive on Saturday. "Along with heavy fighting by our units within the Syrian Democratic Forces against ISIS terrorists, security operations are constantly being carried out in order to ensure safety in the areas liberated," the SDF said in a statement. They included: - Dmitry Simonov (Abu Isa al-Rusi), Russia - Mahmoud Se’id Ateb (Abu Mushab al-Almani), Germany - Nicholas Joseph Lee (Abu Yousuf al-Amriki), Latin America - Emrah Rifat Ozanoglu (Abu Fatima al-Turki), ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund.... - Abrar Mohammad (Abu Zubair al-Sweidi), Sweden - Hisham al-Arabi (Abu Maryam al-Maghribi), Morocco The murderous Moslems face coalition air strikes and an SDF ground attack in al-Baghouz. SDF leaders said on Saturday: "We expect it to be over soon." The SDF has called on imported muscle to be tried in their home countries, citing an inability to process thousands of ISIS murderous Moslems through their own judicial systems. Some countries have complained that there is a lack of usable evidence to prosecute alleged ISIS fighters. SDF has transferred custody of some Iraqi suspects to the Iraqi Army, and released some Syrian suspects to local tribal elders on Saturday.
...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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... jihadist group have been freed because they have "no blood on their hands", Kurdish authorities who were holding them said. Their release was announced late Saturday by the semi-autonomous Kurdish administration of northern Syria, which said in a statement that 283 Syrians had been set free. Tribal chiefs and other local officials had lobbied for their release. The statement said they were men who "have no Syrian blood on their hands", suggesting that they did not take part in any fighting. "They had lost their way... violated the traditions of the Syrian society and the law, and some of them had been deceived... but they remain our Syrian children," it said. Releasing them is a gesture of "cooperation, fraternity and clemency," said the statement posted on the website of the US-backed, Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The prisoners were released in several areas of northern Syria held by Kurds, including the city of Raqa, which was the de facto Syrian capital of the IS "caliphate", the statement added. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britannia-based war monitor, said it was not the first release of IS-linked prisoners by Kurdish authorities, but the number was particularly large this time. | |
