An interesting combination of searchers in Syria, even if one assumes Qatar is the money bags and the FBI provided strong backs and sharp brains. Could this be where those FBI staff on probation were sent to demonstrate attitude adjustment, or are they the best of the best, building contacts for future hunts back home?

The Qatari internal security forces said the FBI had requested the search, and that DNA tests are currently underway to determine the identities of the people. The Qatari agency did not say who the American intelligence and security agency is trying to find.
Dozens of foreigners, including aid workers and journalists, were killed by IS turbans who had controlled large swaths of Syria and Iraq for half a decade and declared a so-called caliphate. The group lost most of its territory in late 2017 and was declared defeated in 2019.
Since then, dozens of gravesites and mass graves have been discovered in northern Syria containing remains and bodies of people IS had kidnapped over the years.
American-Israeli journalist Steven Sotloff, fellow US journalist James Foley, and humanitarian workers Kayla Mueller and Peter Kassig are among those killed by IS.
John Cantlie, a British correspondent, was kidnapped alongside Foley in 2012, and was last seen alive in one of the Death Eater group’s propaganda videos in 2016.
