Some Christian captives of ISIS may involve Syriac Christian militia fighters trained by Peshmerga. HT: Bilalabdulkareem.
The story of ISIS holding 150 Christian hostages according to my sources is true.
However the story being reported now seems to have left out a few relevant details. The official story is that ISIS stormed villages in the Hasaka region and kidnapped Christians in the villages.
Osama Edward, founder of the Assyrian Human Rights Network who is based in Stockholm, Sweden said, “They are facing death, people are unarmed, they are peaceful. And they need help, they are just left alone — no one’s protecting them.”
However rebel sources in the area have said that many of the prisoners are from the Sootoro Christian militia, a group that is headed by Maliki Rabbaho. This group was being trained by Peshmerga forces to fight ISIS. Sources say that when ISIS attacked the villages these prisoners fell into their hands.
Rebel fighters in the area have said that there is a good chance that some civilians are mixed in with the fighters as well from amongst the hostages. Read the full story here.
