[Rudaw] 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....
(ISIS) turbans held at a detention centre in northern Syria made an attempted jail break on Friday, according to reports. The situation was brought under control by Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) with the assistance of global coalition partners.
The turbans failed in their attempt to break out of the detention centre in Derik, the Rojava Information Center reported. Security forces had surrounded the building and were on the roof, the group added.
All the ISIS detainees were accounted for and there were no casualties, coalition spokesperson Col. Scott Rawlinson said on Saturday, AP reported.
The SDF "peacefully" dealt with the incident and coalition jets monitored from the air, Rawlinson said.
The SDF is holding thousands of ISIS members ‐ including more than 1,000 imported muscle. The Kurdish administration of the autonomous northern Syrian region has repeatedly said it needs international assistance to carry the "burden".
While they are prosecuting local murderous Moslems, the Kurds have refused to put foreigners on trial, demanding home nations repatriate their nationals or find some solution to the problem. Most western nations have resisted bringing home jihadists because of security concerns and doubts they could build a legal case against the turbans for crimes committed in Iraq or Syria.
Iraqi ISIS members and a dozen Frenchies have been handed over to Baghdad to face trial.
