We're in a prison run by Kurdish militants here in northern Syria. The Kurds won't allow us to see the cells where the prisoners are being held. Their prisoners, they say, are members of ISIS. When the first detainee sits down, I ask the guard to please remove his blindfold.

Kareem tells me he was paid $2,000 USD to fight alongside ISIS on the Syrian frontlines for more than a year -- and he has the battle scars to prove it. Lifting up his shirt, he reveals a gruesome pink and brown scar on his stomach."I was shot in the stomach three times," he says. He also has ugly scars on his right arm from another bullet wound. He claims ISIS drugged fighters before they went into battle. They have effective medical services. "They gave us drugs," Kareem says. "Hallucinogenic pills that would make you go to battle not caring if you live or die." I wonder what drug that could be? |

The Times has this story of an American journalist held prisoner by Al Nusrah (Iraqi Al Qaeda). Doesn't sound like a picnic. I find the author irritating but it is an interesting story. link |
