ISIL militants moving freely in Istanbul: Video

A newly-released online video shows some people in ISIL clothes with the group’s flag travelling freely in the Turkish city of Istanbul.

The video filmed on the Istanbul metro shows two young men wearing ISIL T-shirts freely heading for their destination. This comes as shops in several countries have been promoting ISIL clothes, toy equipment and gifts.

The footage has raised major concerns that those purchasing such clothes are somehow showing loyalty to the terrorist group. Experts say the footage circulating online appears genuine and has been corroborated by other reports.

Quoting Turkish government officials and media reports, The New York Times reported on Monday that Turkey is one of the biggest sources of foreign fighters for the Takfiri group, which has captured large swathes of land in Iraq and Syria.

The newspaper cited the example of one former fighter who had been taken to Syria, along with 10 of his friends, and joined the ISIL after 15 days of training in the city of Raqqa.

This is not the first time that media expose links between the Turkish government and Takfiri militants. German television station ARD has recently revealed that an office, run by ISIL-affiliated Turks, helps foreign militants cross the Turkish border to join the terrorist group’s militants in Iraq and Syria. The report said that militants have been paid up to 400 euros, to join the battles.

The German state TV station also said that there are more than 2,000 militants joining ISIL who come from Europe, adding that they enter Istanbul as a tourist and then cross borders into Iraq and Syria.

The West and its regional allies, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, are reportedly giving financial and military support to the militants.

Hundreds of Iraqi soldiers missing or stranded after chaotic withdrawal

BAGHDAD — Hundreds of Iraqi soldiers were trapped or missing on Sunday following a chaotic retreat from an army base in western Iraq, military officials said, underscoring the ability of Islamic State insurgents to remain on the offensive despite expanded airstrikes from the United States.

At least 820 soldiers were stationed at Saqlawia Camp, north of the insurgent-controlled Iraqi city of Fallujah, when it came under attack from five suicide bombings on Sunday afternoon, said Lt. Col. Ihab Hashem, a deputy commander with the Iraqi Army’s 8th division who was at the camp. Two bombers drove explosives-packed armored vehicles and three others detonated vests, he said.

Five battalions had been stranded at the base without supplies for six days after Islamic State militants seized a bridge that was the last access route to the camp. Soldiers said they were forced to boil up water from a muddy stream, and were running low on ammunition, when the bombings struck on Sunday.

“We lost control,” Hashem said after crossing Islamic State-controlled territory to another army base. “We couldn’t gather to retreat. Some are dead, others stayed.”

He said retreating soldiers had abandoned their vehicles and were traversing enemy territory in small platoons in order to avoid detection.


“Some are still crossing, they are walking through the trees and houses trying to hide from the insurgents.”

The Islamic State has carried out mass-executions of Iraqi troops it has caught in the past – including killing what Iraqi officials say were 1,700 soldiers at Camp Speicher near the northern city of Tikrit during the group’s surge forward in June.

ISIL just like Bashar's thugs and Iran thought that through slaughtering innocents in the most ugly ways could make them prevail but instead it got back at them, now we kill three birds with one stone. Iran's legitimate son is so screwed.
