[Rudaw] A Yazidi woman has been rescued from 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) captivity and returned to Iraq, a Kurdish official revealed on Tuesday.

Hussein Qaidi, head of the Yazidi rescue office, affiliated with the Kurdistan Region Presidency, told Rudaw on Tuesday that Tawaf Dawoud Chato "arrived in Iraq from Western Kurdistan [northeast Syria] today."

He added that the Iraqi security forces are keeping her until she is returned to her hometown, Shingal.

When ISIS swept through the Yazidi heartland of Shingal in August 2014, committing genocide, the group kidnapped 6,417 women and kiddies who were forced into sexual slavery and labour. Many have been rescued from al-Hol, the notorious camp that houses tens of thousands of ISIS families and supporters.

According to data provided by Qaidi’s office, 3,576 of the kidnapped Yazidis have been rescued so far.

Wonderful news, even if more remain yet to be found and rescued.

Another Yazidi woman, Kovan Ido, was rescued from ISIS captivity in March and was reunited with her family in the Kurdistan Region. Ido was only 14 when she was kidnapped from her village in Shingal district during the bully boy group's brutal offensive.
