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.

Trained jihadists from Iraq and Syria returning to Europe to strike terror


Counter-terrorism sources in Spain have revealed that nearly 800 Islamist extremists had come back to Europe and their mission appears to be to launch attacks – they have been trained by extremists in Iraq and Syria.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 25 August 2015.
As indicated by officers of counter-terrorism squads, the fanatics had been recruited by the Islamic State or Al Qaeda-linked groups and were waiting for the order to strike on the Continent. Nearly half of the 700 Britons who have travelled to fight in the Middle East have already returned and, some of them are believed to be planning attacks in the UK.
The warning for Europe has come after it was revealed that the Moroccan gunman, who stormed a high-speed train from Amsterdam to Paris, was an 'Islamist returner' who had spent time in Syria. The youth had been instructed by a terrorist network to commit an atrocity. Unfortunately, the plan misfired as he was overpowered by six passengers, including three Americans and a British grandfather.
This Moroccan gunman had lived in Spain for seven years until 2014. He is being interrogated by anti-terror investigators, his version was that he only wanted to rob passengers. His story is that he had stumbled upon a weapons stash in a park in Belgium. He used to sleep rough and, once he got the weapons, he decided to use them to rob passengers.

More than 24 British jihadists have died in Syria –figure could be higher


Britain is seized with the problem of British jihadists dailymail.co.uk – reports indicate that at least 24 of them have already died and the figure could be higher. An estimate puts the death toll at 30 who might have died fighting for terror groups in Syria.
Researchers believe that 24 jihadists have been killed fighting with Islamic State and other groups but think that there could be hundreds, and possibly thousands, of Britons who have fled to Syria and Iraq to join up with radical Islamic groups like the Islamic State (ISIS) and the al-Qaeda affiliated Jabhat al-Nusra.
However, in spite of these deaths and the mounting political pressure on extremist groups both at home and abroad, Britain has no clue of how prevent radicalization of more British nationals because those who are going are going since they regard it as martyrdom and a victory.

15-year-old girl from Bristol goes to Syria to join the jihadists


When a 15-year-old girl, a would-be dentist from Bristol, leaves her roots and wants to go to Syria to join the jihadists, it is a matter of concern news.sky.com. It seems, this girl along with another 17-year-old girl had travelled from London to Turkey from where they wanted to cross over into Syria.
The 17-year-old London teenager, from Lambeth, is of Somali descent and was last seen leaving home at 7am on September 24.
According to friends of the 15-year-old was a studious student but, she wanted to join militants in Syria and might have been radicalized online. This is what others have surmised because she had, of late, become tied to her mobile phone and computer probably being influenced after viewing extremist material on chat rooms and forums.
She studied in The City Academy in Bristol but, she was not in school when her father went to pick her up last week and she has not been heard of from that day.
The girl's family are also Somali and, as per officers who are investigating, they are trying to ascertain whether the two girls travelled together from Heathrow Airport to Istanbul, Turkey.
Obviously, the social media is to blame since its reach is growing with every passing day and, in order to access the internet, one need not go to any cafĂ© but can do it from one’s mobile phone.

There is crisis in the air as IS militants come to within 2-Km of Baghdad


The situation in the Middle East, especially in Iraq and Syria, keeps changing every minute and latest reports indicate that the IS militants are literally knocking at the doorsteps of Baghdad news.sky.com – within 2-Km as some reports mention.
Local residents are afraid to leave their houses and the roads are deserted in anticipation of imminent attacks and violence.
The revelations have been made by Canon Andrew White – in his words, the IS militants were reportedly only a mile away from the capital amid clashes with Iraqi soldiers. Moreover, there has also been renewed fighting in the central cities of Baquba and Ramadi.
The situation in Syria is no better – in spite of the recent coalition airstrikes, fighters from IS are believed to have come to within three miles of the strategic border town of Kobani.
Canon White is the vicar of St George's Church - the only Anglican Church in Iraq – and he has said that civilians were being killed by coalition air raids in Iraq.
He feels that that his church would be "very high up" on the extremist group's target list and he himself would be at the very top of the list.

Austria stops two teenage schoolgirls from going to Syria


The police in Austria have stopped two teenage schoolgirls from gong to Syria – as per the police, the girls aged 14 and 15 wanted to join Islamist guerrillas zeenews.india.com. European countries have already tightened controls in a bid to stop people travelling to join Islamic State (IS) militants in Syria and Iraq and, all of them are not men.
The two girls had apparently met and got to know each other on the web and one of them had said she wanted "to support IS, it does not matter where". They were picked up by police in the southern Austrian city of Graz – they were in possession of full suitcases and intended to go to Syria.
The one of the girls is Muslim and the other, a recent convert to Islam – one of the mothers provided a lead and the police picked them up at the home of a friend in Graz.
It seems the two girls wanted to fly to Turkey and then cross the border into Syria – it may be recalled that in May two other Austrian girls of Bosnian origin had reportedly left to "fight for Islam" in Syria.
As per information with the ministry, 142 Austrians, including 12 women, were thought to be in Syria and, already, ten suspected would-be jihadis have been arrested in Austria since mid-August.
