YPJ riot squads raid al-Hol camp to root out ISIS women
2020-06-12
[RUDAW.NET] Security forces are continuing an inspection campaign in al-Hol camp aimed at preventing further chaos inside the camp being chronically stirred up by women loyal to the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS).

Dozens of armed riot police led by the Women's Protection Units (YPJ) combed through hundreds of crowded tents as camp authorities began a campaign yesterday to register camp residents’ biometric data, reported local media Hawar News Agency (ANHA), which is tied to the People’s Protection Units (YPG).

The sweep campaign is targeting al-Hol’s "immigrant section" — designated for foreign ISIS families — in efforts to root out secret ISIS cells that have been created by women within the camp and have been spreading chaos for its residents. ANHA reported on Thursday that YPJ anti-terrorist squads and riot control units are overseeing the sweep of the camp.

Al-Hol camp has witnessed multiple attack in recent months, in which women who adhere to the radical ideology of the jihadist group have rioted in the camp, attacking guards of the camp, or burning down tents of women who they see as violating their strict rules by talking to men, or removing their veils.

Sheikhmous Ahmed, who oversees all displacement camps in Rojava, told Rudaw English late Wednesday that they aim to put an end to the "chaos" created by ISIS women in the camp. "There have been escape attempts, arson, attempted murder, and attacks on camp officials," Ahmed said.

He also said that some of the camp residents have refused to reveal their real identities, even to international organizations who work in the camp in coordination with the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (NES).

Thousands of women and kiddies of suspected ISIS fighters at al-Hol camp will be officially registered in a bid to boost security and "improve living conditions" in the camp, NES officials said Wednesday.
