| In Syria's Al-Hol camp, ultra-extremists fuel fear |
| 2019-04-01 |
| [Rudaw] Clashes with guards, violent factional quarrels and a new strain of ultra-extremism ‐ the 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group's territorial "caliphate" may be defeated, but a camp in eastern Syria is emerging as a fresh jihadist powder keg. Dislodged in a final offensive by a Kurdish-led ground force and coalition air strikes, thousands of wives and children of IS fighters have flooded in from a string of Syrian villages south of the camp in recent months. |

| #2 I first read the headline as "ultra-extremists fuel fire" and thought; well that's probably a good use for them. |
