Iraq repatriates nearly 700 nationals from Syria’s al-Hol camp

[Rudaw] The Iraqi government recently repatriated some 700 nationals linked to 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) from the Kurdish-held al-Hol camp in northeast Syria (Rojava), a spokesperson told Rudaw on Wednesday.

"The returned persons comprise 168 families, or 681 individuals," said Ali Abbas, the spokesperson for Iraq’s migration and displaced ministry.

The repatriation took place on Saturday, marking Iraq’s 24th batch of nationals from the notorious camp.

However,
facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable...
the Iraqi government has not yet disclosed the total number of individuals returned from al-Hol, nor the exact figure of Iraqi nationals still residing there.

Abbas estimates that around 16,000 Iraqis remain in the camp, while Saad al-Jayashi, an advisor at the Iraqi National Security Advisory, told Rudaw late last month that the number is more than 14,000.

Iraqis and Syrians make up the majority of the 40,000 ISIS-linked individuals being held at the camp, which has been branded as a breeding ground for terrorism.
