Over 300 ISIS-affiliated people leave al-Hol camp

[Rudaw] More than 300 people affiliated with 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....
(ISIS) have left the notorious al-Hol camp in northeastern Syria (Rojava) to return to their homes in Raqqa on Wednesday, according to local media.

A total of 324 people from 92 families were allowed to exit, marking the 18th batch of residents leaving the camp, Hawar News Agency (ANHA) reported.

The process of sending the people back from al-Hol will "continue gradually to reduce the economic and security burdens that the Autonomous Administration bears in al-Hol," ANHA cited Sheikhmus Ahmed, who supervises the administration of Rojava's IDP and refugee camps as saying.

The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) arrested thousands of ISIS fighters and their wives and children when they took control of the group’s last stronghold in Syria in March 2019. Most of these people are held at al-Hol which is home to over 60,000 people - mostly women and kiddies from different nationalities.
