Authorities foil escape attempt by 18 ISIS-linked women, children from Syria's Hol camp

[Rudaw] Kurdish authorities in northeast Syria (Rojava) have foiled an overnight escape attempt by 18 women and kiddies allegedly linked to 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) at al-Hol camp, the camp’s director Jihan Hanan told Rudaw.

She said the group consisted of nationals from Russia and Turkmenistan.

Hol, located near Hasaka city, is notorious for overcrowding and poor living conditions, and has long been described as a breeding ground for bully boy activity.

Sheikhmous Ahmed, the official overseeing Rojava’s camps for refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), told Rudaw in late November that the camp’s population has fallen to 25,183 residents, including 14,920 Syrians, 3,988 Iraqis, and over 6,200 foreign nationals.

The camp once held around 60,000 people.

Kurdish authorities have repeatedly urged foreign governments to repatriate their citizens. Iraq, in particular, has been praised for its ongoing efforts to bring its nationals home.
