ISIS harvesting organs of healthy individuals to treat the injured jihadists

Doctors who have joined ISIS are busy harvesting organs and draining the blood of healthy captives to treat the injured jihadists in Raqqa, Syria. This has been revealed by a former prisoner. He has said that surgeons for the terror group removed kidneys and corneas from prisoners and treated them as 'blood banks' for wounded fighters.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 30 September 2015.

The man has also explained how those not strong enough for organ donation were forced to endure daily torture at the hands of barbaric IS militants in Raqqa. He managed to escape four months ago during the confusion and dust created after the prison suffered a direct hit during a counter terrorism raid. He was lucky to escape because the ISIS members fired at them.
There could be some truth in the organ harvesting allegations because, Iraqi ambassador Mohamed Alhakim had earlier claimed that dozens of bodies with surgical incisions and missing body parts had been discovered in shallow mass graves near Mosul.

This is the age of drone warfare - pick and eliminate the jihadists from miles away

It is now the age of drone warfare as two of the British jihadists killed in Syria were blitzed by a drone that was controlled by RAF pilots sitting 3,000 miles away in Lincolnshire. The controversial £10million Reaper unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was controlled from a hi-tech control hub at RAF Waddington.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 8 September 2015.

The unsuspecting jihadists had gone in a vehicle in Raqqa, capital of the so-called Islamic State, where they were eliminated by a laser-guided Hellfire missile. The pilots from 13 Squadron had ordered the craft – about the size of a small executive jet – to carry out airstrikes from a height of up to 50,000ft using its fearsome arsenal.
British warplanes – drones and RAF Tornados GR4 jets – have so far killed nearly 250 militants during more than 1,200 missions in Iraq as a part of their battle to crush IS and RAF commanders have used the Reaper, Britain's only armed UAV, to destroy over 100 enemy targets.
Britain has ten Reapers in the conflict zone and, once one of these is launched from conventional runways at an airbase in Kuwait, they are controlled from Waddington. It takes only a few seconds to act against terrorist leaders and militants instead of waiting for a conventional strike aircraft to arrive.

ISIS militants execute 70 Syrian Army officers in Idlib

ISIS militants slaughtered at least 70 Syrian Army officers in Idlib and Syria would have ended up by losing its second city to the jihadists of ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra timesofindia.indiatimes.com.

It seems hundreds of ISIS fighters stormed into the provincial capital, and captured the newly installed governor's office and then began to behead Syrian army officers. Reports indicate that by the time government troops recaptured the building, at least 70 soldiers had been executed. Many of them were senior officers and, as a result, one of the oldest cities in Syria was in utter chaos.
The officers were literally slaughtered before the army could declare Idlib saved.

Incidentally, the eastern city of Raqqa has been in the hands of ISIS for months, but Idlib was more strategically placed between Aleppo and the coastal city of Latakia — both of these are still held by President Bashar al-Assad's regime and the fall of Idlib would have been a disastrous for the government.

Islamic State militants are learning to fly MiG aircrafts

Islamic State militants are now learning to fly fighter aircrafts bbc.com – this has been made possible by Iraqi pilots who have joined Islamic State and who are now training its members in Syria to fly fighter aircraft.

According to a UK-based activist group that monitors the conflict, it seems the IS has got three aircraft and witnesses had seen the planes being flown around a military airport in Aleppo.
Rami Abdul Rahman, head of the SOHR, has revealed that the IS was using Iraqi officers who were pilots under ex-Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to train fighters in Syria.
The number of pilots who have defected is not known but, as per witnesses, the planes appeared to be MiG-21 or MiG-23 models. The IS has three planes which it captured earlier from the Syrian military in Aleppo and Raqqa.

However, the US Central Command spokesman has indicated that the Pentagon was "not aware" of IS conducting any flight operations in Syria or elsewhere.

Al-Nusra front threatens over US airstrikes on ISIS positions

The Syrian militant group al-Nusra Front has denounced US-led air strikes as "a war against Islam" and, in an online statement, the al-Qaeda-linked group has called upon jihadists around the world to target Western and Arab countries involved bbc.com.
The threat comes as the US and other nations have widened air strikes against Islamic State (IS) fighters in Iraq and Syria and a Syrian activist group has indicated that overnight strikes have hit three local oilfields near the Syrian IS stronghold of Raqqa.
Moreover, the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, have added that one civilian was killed in a strike on a plastics factory on the outskirts of Raqqa.
The Pentagon had earlier confirmed that jets had hit Raqqa as well as IS positions near the Turkish border.
The US-led coalition consisting of about 40 countries, including Arab states, has vowed to destroy IS, which controls large parts of north-eastern Syria and northern Iraq. Incidentally, the group's brutal tactics, including mass killings, beheadings, and abductions of members of religious and ethnic minorities, have triggered the international intervention.
Britain has become the latest country to join the coalition - two of six RAF Tornados based in Cyprus have carried out their first combat mission but returned without carrying out any strikes. Later, two RAF planes took part in a further flight and later returned safely. Probably they are testing the waters before embarking on offensive actions.

Two can play at the game – US pounds ISIS oil wells and ISIS sets free 150 prisoners

The strategy of US and allies to pound oil wells that account for the major source of finance of the ISIS seems to have hit the mark and terrorists who are fighting for ISIS in Syria are believed to have freed 150 prisoners in the group's de facto capital Raqqa dailymail.co.uk.
The air forces of Saudi Arabia and UAE have carried out a majority of the coordinated attacks by targeting 12 'modular oil refineries' in eastern Syria that have the ability to extract thousands of barrels of crude oil a day.
Much of this oil is smuggled into neighboring oil-producing regions in Turkey and Iraqi Kurdistan at reduced price and then sold of mainstream markets. In the process, ISIS has become the wealthiest terror group of all time with an estimated $1billion in cash reserves.
The ISIS fighters who set the prisoners free want to prevail upon America and its Arab allies to end the campaign of airstrikes. The desperate militants have reportedly released the captives overnight in the belief that the move could encourage an anti-ISIS coalition of nations to focus their raids away from Raqqa. The 150 prisoners who have been set free by the group are all believed to have been arrested in recent weeks and could be locals accused of committing minor crimes.
Incidentally, Raqqa is the stronghold of ISIS and is widely thought to be a base for the group's senior figures - including leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi - and where British hostages Alan Henning and John Cantlie are being held. The news comes as a fresh wave of airstrikes from the United States and its Arab allies hit ISIS oil refineries overnight, killing at least 14 militants and striking at the heart of the terror group's funding.
ISIS generates up to $2million a day from the sale of oil, employing highly trained engineers to extract thousands of barrels a day from the vast swaths of Syria and Iraq under the terror group's control.

US-Arab nations joint operation against ISIS shows that it is not America’s fight alone

The simultaneous airstrikes by US and Arab nations on militant targets in Syria overnight were "only the beginning" of a "credible and sustainable, persistent" coalition effort to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIS militants and other extremist groups nzherald.co.nz.
This joint venture, as indicated by US President Barack Obama, “makes it clear to the world this is not America's fight alone."
The airstrikes employed US Tomahawk missiles, B1 bombers, F16, F18 and F22 strike fighters and drones and was backed by support from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan and the UAE - a coalition of nations – they have all agreed to assist with the destruction of ISIS that has become a global threat.
The airstrikes were launched from land bases in the Middle East, while the F18s were launched from the aircraft carrier USS George HW Bush, which is in the Persian Gulf. The Tomahawks were fired from the USS Arleigh Burke, a guided missile destroyer in the Red Sea.
The first wave of strikes lasted for 90 minutes and blasts occurred across Raqqa - the de facto capital of the Islamic state. Among the targets hit were the house of the governor of Raqqa, the national hospital and the Equestrian Club. British Prime Minister David Cameron has supported the actions taken by the US and Arab allies against ISIS and has released a statement saying he will now discuss what contribution the UK can make.

US and five Arab countries launch massive airstrike against IS bases in Syria

The inevitable has happened and at long last, the US and five Arab countries Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, have launched airstrikes on Islamic State group targets in Syria nzherald.co.nz.
They used a mix of manned aircraft -- fighter jets and bombers -- plus Tomahawk cruise missiles and these strikes were part of the expanded military campaign that President Barack Obama had authorized nearly two weeks ago in order to disrupt and destroy the Islamic State militants.
The strikes were carried out by manned Air Force and Navy aircraft, and the Tomahawk missiles were launched from US ships in the northern Persian Gulf and the Red Sea – incidentally, the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush is already positioned in the Gulf.
The targets were Islamic State group headquarters in Raqqa in eastern Syria and would include the militants' command and control centers, re-supply facilities, training camps and other key logistical sites.
It may be recalled that the IS militants have slaughtered thousands of people, beheaded Westerners -- including two American journalists -- and captured large swaths of Syria and northern and western Iraq.
As per military leaders, nearly two-thirds of the estimated 31,000 Islamic State militants were in Syria probably because they consider it to be a safe haven due to the ongoing civil war in the country.

Rebellion in the ranks of ISIS – disillusioned fighters marched to punishment centers

It appears rebellion is brewing in the ranks of the ISIS as a group of five Britons, three Frenchmen, two Germans and two Belgians were marched by ISIS leaders to the punishment centers in Raqqa, Syria dailymail.co.uk. Their misconduct was of complaints that they were spending their time fighting other rebel forces instead of the government of Bashar al-Assad and were, therefore, concerned that they were killing fellow Muslims.
They have realized a bit late in life that jihadists like them are stuck with one-way-tickets to ISIS and there is no escape for them.,br> It seems the men were stripped of their weapons and marched to the punishment center.
Observers feel that because the US has up the ante, the ISIS leaders are in a quandary – till now, they had operated an open door policy which has allowed around 250 Britons to return but the beginning of US air attacks has made militant commanders apprehensive that those who return home could become spies and direct attacks.
Obviously, the earlier welcoming atmosphere for Western militants has now changed to one of suspicion as the terrorist group begins to turn on its own fighters.

Female jihadists from Britain working as ISIL’s female law enforcement brigade

The female wing of ISIS is believed to be the al-Khanssaa brigade – it is a female-only militia set up by the Islamic State in Raqqa, Syria and the key figure is one Aqsa Mahmood, the 20-year-old of Glasgow, who fled to Syria last year dailymail.co.uk.
Reports indicate that British female jihadists are operating a religious police force that punishes women for 'un-Islamic' behavior – the group has around 60 such members from UK who have gone to Syria on jihad. Authorities are aware of the identity of some of these women.
Most of them are in the age-group of between 18 and 24, and their task is to weed out those people who are engaging in Western culture in Raqqa. The US hostages James Foley and Steven Sotloff had both been beheaded in the desert near Raqqa hence, it is possible that the British women in al-Khanssaa could know the identity of who killed them.
The al-Khanssaa is a sharia law police brigade and is ISIL’s female law enforcement brigade and while it is felt that it is a mixture of British and French women, its social media accounts are run by the British and they are written in English.

Assad’s jets have struck a bakery run by the IS in Raqqa – 25 killed

Assad’s jets have hit a training camp and a bakery run by the Islamic State militant group in Raqqa – at least 25 people have died in the attack bbc.com. The dead include both civilians and militants alike as reported by the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The fighters of the IS had joined up with the three-year civil war in Syria last year and have since pushed forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad out of Raqqa province – the city of Raqqa is now labeled as the headquarters of its so-called caliphate.
As per estimate, the IS militant group has taken over about one-third of Iraq and Syria and has established courts, a central bank as well as an administrative system.
The group has taken control over the whole of Raqqa province last month when it pushed government forces out of a final military base and the IS fighters have murdered dozens of solders after the takeover. Subsequently, the Assad government has launched a number of air strikes.
