ISIS trains young Syrians to fight in Iraq
2015-05-01
[ARA] On Thursday, 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....
group (IS/ISIS) summoned hundreds of young Syrians who swore allegiance to the group in the city of Manbij in the northern countryside of Aleppo, northern Syria, to undergo an IS-led Sharia training camp.

Speaking to ARA News, an eyewitness from Manbij said (on the condition of anonymity) that the IS-run Sharia training will be held in the groups main center in the city of al-Bab.

The training is expected to last for two months, and the participants will return home in Manbij to join the IS' institutions in the city.

"This is what the group has declared. However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well...
we've received information that those who join the training camp in al-Bab will be sent to the Iraqi provinces of Anbar and Salahaddin to fight there in the ranks of the group," a local activist said on condition of anonymity.

The group has reportedly lost hundreds of faceless myrmidons during battles against Iraqi forces in the recent weeks.

"Thus they're recruiting Syrian youth and send them to the fighting fronts in Iraq in order to fill the gap. This way the group guarantees the loyalty of those youngster who'll be separated form their families and people and will have no other choice that showing loyalty to the group," the activist told ARA News on the phone.
