[RUDAW.NET] An ISIS krazed killer taken captive by Kurdish Peshmerga forces on the Nawaran front north of djinn-infested Mosul... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
last month has confessed that he was one of the turban group’s executioners and that he had beheaded six Shiite hostages on his first day of training.
"I mean, I didn't think there was anything wrong widdit. They wouldn'ta told me to if there was, would they?"
"I joined ISIS through someone from our area named Abu Mahmood," Hassan Hamza, 21, from a village near Nawaran told Rudaw of the time he first joined the radical group.
"Abu Mahmoud?" If that's not an alias it should be.
"He asked me to become a krazed killer of the 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

and said ’I will get you a salary. If you are martyred you will go to paradise’ and I said ’alright’."
"Hey, it sounded like a good deal."
"What'd he tell you would happen to you if you wuz captured?"
"We didn't talk about that."
"Too bad."
From his village Hamza was taken to a military base where he was put through weeks of basic training until appointed a guard at an ISIS shelter near Tal Afar, west of Mosul.
"One day when I was in Tal Afar, a special ISIS force came and their emir [leader] chose me alongside a few more saying ’we are taking you to Raqqa’. As soon as we arrived, they put us in a base outside the city which was surrounded by lots of gardens." Hamza recalled.
During his first six months with ISIS, he said, he "received strong and regular trainings. Then, they chose six of us to train on how to carry out beheadings."
"That's it? All we gotta do is chop heads off?"
The training began by watching beheadings of hostages and prisoners carried out by more experienced ISIS gunnies "then I was called to repeat the same thing."
"There's gotta be a catch to this somewhere!"
"After we watched the beheading scenes, they would tell us about the importance of such punishments." Hamza now said. "After that, the trainers would behead some people in front of us."
"Now stand back, trainees! You don't wanna get no blood on you! It ain't halal!"
When the day came for him to put his learning into practice Hamza was brought a number of Shiite hostages and told to "behead some of them as training, so I beheaded six of them."
The former ISIS executioner revealed that he and his fellow gunnies had been indoctrinated by the group that the Kurdish Peshmerga were "infidels and we have to do jihad against them."
Now in captivity, Hamza feels that his ISIS superiors had deceived him and he regrets his actions.
"You gonna cut my head off?"
"Prob'ly just hang you."
"What ISIS said about the Peshmerga was not true as they treated me in a good way," he said of his time since his capture. "They are Moslems and they do pray."
"And they're gonna hang me."
Not sure whether or not it will reach them or not, Hamza sent out a message to his fellow gunnies urging them to put down their weapons and stop fighting or their only fate is death.
