[Rudaw] Two Yazidi women from Shingal (Sinjar), kidnapped by 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) snuffies in 2014, have been rescued from an undisclosed location, an official from the Kurdistan Region Presidency said on Thursday.
"Today, we are announcing good news that two Yazidi women aged 21 and 26 were rescued," said Hussein Qaidi, head of the Office of Rescuing Abducted Yazidis. The two women were kidnapped as children and spent 11 years in captivity.
| Qaidi said the rescue began when they learned that the two women were in a neighboring country. |

"After we were given the information, teams working with us were immediately tasked with the job. Thanks to the team and to those who helped us bring happiness back to their families," he said.
Qaidi declined to reveal where they had been held, citing security reasons and ongoing rescue efforts.
In its assault on Shingal in 2014, ISIS snuffies kidnapped 6,417 Yazidi women and kiddies, many of whom were subjected to sexual slavery and forced labor. A total of 3,593 of them have been rescued, Qaidi said, adding that their office will continue its "efforts to rescue the remaining missing individuals."
Many Yazidi women and kiddies have been rescued from al-Hol, the notorious camp in northeast Syria (Rojava) that houses tens of thousands of ISIS families and supporters. Others have been found in areas of Syria that were controlled by rebels or Ottoman Turkish-backed gangs, and some have been located in third countries.
