Iraq
Detainee says he was kidnapped, imprisoned by ISIS
2018-02-11
[Ynet] A US citizen suspected of fighting with 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 says he wasn't a fighter, but was kidnapped by the Death Eater group, tried to escape several times and was only in Syria to "understand firsthand and report" about the conflict, according to court papers filed Friday.
So he is merely a freelance journalist of some sort? I’d be suspicious, too, though it does happen.
New details about the unidentified detainee, held without charge in Iraq by the US for nearly five months, were included in documents the American Civil Liberties Union filed in US District Court in Washington.

If the US government wants to continue to detain him, it must charge him with a crime, the ACLU told the court.

The ACLU said the man, who surrendered on the Syrian battlefield to US-backed forces, claims the allegations against him are "riddled with inaccuracies."
