[AnNahar] Iraq moved 500 wives of 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group jihadists to a detention center in preparation to deport them after they were captured along with 800 children, a councilor said Monday.

The women and kiddies were detained in Iraq's second city djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, capital of Nineveh province and IS' main stronghold in the country until Iraqi forces retook it in July.

"They are in a holding center in Tal Kayf under the control of Iraqi security forces, so their cases can be examined before they are eventually expelled from the country," the Nineveh province councilor told AFP.

The spouses and their children were moved Sunday from a camp run by international aid agencies 60 kilometers (40 miles) south of Mosul, said the official, who asked to remain anonymous.

A senior Iraqi security official said the 509 women and 813 children held 13 different nationalities from Europe, Asia and the Americas.

A government official said around 300 of them were Ottoman Turkish.

"They are foreigners who entered the country illegally," a minister told AFP.

"Legal measures must be taken against them because, when they were detained, they were in an area controlled by terrorists."

The Norwegian Refugee Council said they group were mostly from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
, Azerbaijan, Russia and Tajikistan.

The Nineveh councilor said Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi had ordered their transfer to the detention center and "could be part of preparations for their departure to their countries of origin".

Some of the families were among a group transferred to the Iraqi authorities a week after they surrendered to Kurdish forces deployed in the north of the country.
