Body of British chef who died fighting Islamic State found in Syria
[TELEGRAPH.CO.UK] The body of a British former chef killed fighting 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.... alongside a Kurdish militia in Syria has been recovered, according to Kurdish activists. Ryan Lock, 20, from Chichester, west Sussex, died last month in battle near the northern Syrian city of Raqqa, the de facto capital of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ... the current version of al-Qaeda in Iraq, just as blood-thirsty and well-beloved as the original... ’s (Isil) self-declared caliphate. After his death his body had been in the hands of Islamic State turbans. The BBC reported that his body has now been recovered and taken to north-east Syria for an official autopsy. Mr Lock, who had no military background, left to fight with the Kurdish People’s Defence Units (YPG) military force last August after telling his family he was going to ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... on holiday. In a message on Facebook on 31 August, he wrote: "I’m on my way to Rojava. I lied about going to Turkey. I’m sorry I didn’t tell anyone. I love all of you and I will be back in six months." He became the third British man to die fighting with the Kurds against so-called Islamic State. Posted by: Fred 2017-01-13 |
