| Official: Kurdish prisoners escape from ISIS prison in Mosul | |
| 2015-09-02 | |
...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.... 's stronghold of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... a few days ago, claims a Kurdish official, adding that some of the escapees were recaptured by ISIS and others remained protected and harbored in civilian homes. "After the people of Mosul realized that several captives fled ISIS, they welcomed them, guiding them to escape Mosul in order for them to return to their homes outside ISIS territories, but unfortunately, some of the escapees were recaptured," Ismat Rajab, head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party branch in Mosul, told Rudaw on Tuesday. Rajab, who is currently based at Mount Zartik, the closest Peshmerga-held territory to ISIS in Mosul, added that the prisoners were held at an ISIS prison in the Christian neighborhood of Khalisiya. "When the people realized these hostages escaped an ISIS jail, they--both Kurds and Arabs in the nearby areas--showed their willingness to harbor them from ISIS," Rajab said of the positions of Mosul's Arabs and Kurds concerning the escapees. Last week, pro-ISIS Twitter accounts announced that some Kurds had broken out of a prison in Mosul. Following the escape, ISIS launched a campaign inside Mosul looking for the escapees. Since the beginning of the ISIS war, Peshmerga on different fronts, including Mosul Dam, Zummar, Tilkef and Kirkuk have been taken captive by ISIS, but until now no official figure on ISIS captives has been provided by the Peshmerga ministry. However, some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... according to information obtained by Rudaw, 30 Peshmerga are in ISIS captivity, mostly from the cities of Duhok and Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... and some of them have been killed by the Lion of Islam group. | |
