[LI] As the Islamic state (ISIS) retreats from Mosul, Iraq, more locals have spoken out about life under the terrorist group. ISIS captured Iraq’s second largest city in the summer of 2014.
OB-GYN Dr. Fatima Khaleel spoke with The Sunday Times about the females she treated in Mosul, noting most of them desperately wanted to get pregnant by ISIS fighters to breed caliphate cubs.
Stories have circulated since Mosul fell to ISIS, but this is one of the first hand accounts from a doctor who had these females as patients:"I had a lot of Isis wives come," Khaleel said last week, 50 miles east of Mosul, where she fled after Isis was driven from the eastern half of the city in January. "British, French, Russian. They wanted to get pregnant."
Khaleel said the brides came to her with all the same features: "their faces were covered, they were armed to the teeth and they were desperate to get pregnant."
These females also received free healthcare since they belonged to the high levels of ISIS.
Each wife arrived at Khaleel’s clinic "with an entourage -- sometimes carrying Kalashnikovs slung over their black robe-like abayas." From The Sunday Times:"All Isis wives have the right to shoot at any time," Khaleel said. "They all had guns in their bags or in their pockets. I was so scared. These foreigners follow the rules of Isis 100% more than people from Mosul."/blockquote> |
