Aid officials 'gravely concerned' over fate of relocated Islamic State families in Iraq

[REUTERS] Aid officials in Iraq said they were "gravely concerned" about the fate of about 1,400 foreign wives and children of suspected 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.

During a visit to the Hammam al-Alil camp earlier this week, several women told Rooters that they were terrified of leaving the camp and being taken under the exclusive control of Iraqi forces.
