#2 Here is how Rudaw — our Kurdish news source based in Iraq — reports the story today. Note that there is no mention whatsoever of the Jewish Canadian philanthropist or Israel:

Fawzia Amin Sido “was released through joint efforts between the Foreign Ministry and the National Intelligence Service,” a statement from Iraq’s foreign ministry said, adding that she is from al-Qahtaniya in Nineveh’s Baaj district.

The area near Shingal (Sinjar) was taken over in August 2014 by the ISIS group. Sido was transferred to several countries “before her liberation,” the statement added.

“Fawzia was with an ISIS militant who is from the Gaza Strip in Palestine. The militant has been killed. It has been four years since the mother of the killed militant has taken Fawzia to the Gaza Strip with herself,” Sarab Elias, director general for Survivors Affairs at the Iraqi Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, told Rudaw.

Elias said that after obtaining “important information” they determined her location in the Gaza Strip, and repatriated her from Jordan.

An advisor to the Iraqi prime minister said that information obtained from Rudaw was key.

"We first got information through Rudaw about the kidnapped Yazidi girl in the Gaza Strip when she appeared on Rudaw and talked about her being Yazidi and being in Gaza," Khalaf Shingali, PM Mohammed Shia al-Sudani's advisor for Yazidi affairs, told Rudaw on Thursday.

Shingali said that when they saw the woman, they immediately began efforts to rescue her by establishing communication channels and identifying her location. They remained in contact with her until she was brought to Jordan and then back to her Iraq.

Her rescue was carried out in coordination with Iraq’s foreign ministry, the National Intelligence Agency, the American embassy in Jordan, and Jordanian officials, according to Shingali.

Intelligence and foreign ministry officials were “in high coordination with the U.S. embassies in Baghdad and Amman, and the Jordanian authorities, after efforts and follow-up that lasted for more than four months,” the foreign ministry’s statement said.

As of Wednesday, Sido was returned to her family and is in Shingal, according to Elias.
