Six killed by Daesh in Syria’s Al-Hol camp this month
BEIRUT Six people, including four women, were killed in Syria’s Al-Hol camp for displaced people by Daesh in December, a Britain- grounded war examiner group said on Sunday.
The camp, which is controlled by the Kurdish- led independent administration in northeastern Syria, houses about displaced people, including cousins of Daesh terrorists.
About 93 percent are women and children, and about half come from Iraq.
According to the Syrian Overlook for Human Rights, which has a wide network of sources in Syria, “ six assassinations were committed” in the camp by Daesh cells since the launch of December.
The last victim to date was shot dead on Saturday.
The victims include three Iraqis — two men and one woman — as well as two Syrian women and one woman whose identity is unknown, the overlook said.
Since the launch of the time, the number of killings in the camp has been on the rise.
Some 86 people were killed, including 63 Iraqi deportees who abided in Al-Hol, according to the examiner’s risk.
Overlook head Rami Abdel Rahman advised that “ chaos and instability persist within the camp,” labelling it a “ ticking time lemon” in commentary to AFP.
In March, the Kurdish- led authorities launched a major operation in the camp during which they arrested 125 contended Daesh members.
The UN has constantly advised of the deteriorating security conditions in Al-Hol, which has also seen rout attempts in recent months.
The overcrowded camp hosts about foreign women, children and cousins of terrorists.
Since the fall of Daesh’s tone- nominated “ caliphate” in March 2019, Syria’s Kurds and the UN have constantly prompted foreign countries to repudiate their citizens held in northeast Syria.
But utmost Western countries have refused to repudiate their citizens from the camp.
Calls by the Kurdish administration for the conformation of transnational bars for the fighters have also been overlooked.
Meanwhile, the New York Times, citing recently attained Pentagon documents, reported that the US air wars in the Middle East had been marked by “ deeply defective intelligence” and redounded in thousands of mercenary deaths, including numerous children,
. It said a trove of nonpublic documents covering further than eports of mercenary casualties undercuts the government’s depiction of a war fought with perfection losers.
Pledges of translucency and responsibility, it said, had regularly fallen short.
“ Not a single record handed includes a finding of wrongdoing or correctional action,” the paper reported in what it said was the first of a two- part series.
Asked for comment,Capt. Bill Urban, spokesperson for the US Central Command, told the Times that “ indeed with the stylish technology in the world, miscalculations do be, whether grounded on deficient information or misapprehension of the information available. And we try to learn from those miscalculations.
“ We work diligently to avoid similar detriment. We probe each believable case. And we lament each loss of innocent life.”
While several of the cases mentioned by the Times have been preliminarily reported, it said its disquisition showed that the number of mercenary deaths had been “ drastically undercounted,” by at least several hundred.
