Kayla Mueller passed on chance to escape IS captors
[Foreign Policy] Kayla Mueller, the American hostage who recently died in Syria under mysterious circumstances, rejected an opportunity to try to escape out of loyalty to another female hostage who was not physically capable of fleeing and would have had to remain behind, according to two people familiar with the case.Mueller was the personal captive of a senior IS militant named Abu Sayyaf, who was killed by members of Delta Force last weekend during a raid on his compound in in eastern Syria. The details of Mueller's chance to attempt an escape — and her decision not to take it — have not been previously reported. Posted by: ryuge 2015-05-23 |
