Fox Exclusive: Confessions of a Cold Blooded ISIS Terrorist
IT WASN'T THE SLAUGHTER of innocent women and children, the $150-a-month wages or the casual use of torture and execution that prompted Abu Almouthanna to desert the Islamic State army. He told FoxNews.com he could deal with all that — until his Islamic State 'emir' ordered the killing of like-minded jihadists.Almouthanna, already hardened by stints in prison, fighting the Damascus regime in the three-year civil war and conscription in the Al Qaeda-linked Jabhat al Nusra, said he had no issue with murdering Christians, Kurds and Yazidi when he joined the murderous group. His new commanders sent him to a remote boot camp for 40 days of training under battle-scarred foreign fighters, including Chechens and Afghans, he said. Sleeping 10 men to a room, they were awakened at all hours for grueling exercises, drilled in tactics and weaponry and given noms de guerre, including the name Almouthanna now goes by. The pay was about $150 a month, he said. It was during this training that Almouthanna met some of the thousands of radicalized Western fighters who have flocked to Syria and Iraq to join Islamic State, he said. Three Frenchmen and a Briton who he bunked with were given regular Arabic lessons and studied the Koran endlessly. But it was their sheer bloodlust that set them apart, he said. “From Day One, they joked about cutting heads and making the enemy pay,” Almouthanna said. Posted by: Ebbomosh Hupemp2664 2014-11-07 |
