IS attacks Christian villages in northeastern Syria-Associated Press-mar 7,15-yahoonews
BEIRUT (AP) — Islamic State militants attacked a string of predominantly Christian villages in northeastern Syria on Saturday, touching off heavy clashes with Kurdish militiamen and their local allies, activists said.The attack began around dawn and targeted at least three villages near the town of Tal Tamr along the Khabur River in Hassakeh province. The Islamic State group kidnapped more than 220 Assyrian Christians from the same area last month after overrunning several farming communities on the southern bank of the river.The fighting Saturday was focused in villages on the northern bank of the river as the militants press to capture Tal Tamr, a strategic crossroads some 35 kilometers (20 miles) from the city of Hassakeh, said Osama Edwards, director of the Assyrian Network for Human Rights."The battles are now very intensive, very violent," said Edwards, who is based in Sweden. "Tal Tamr is the main goal of the Islamic State, to give them the corridor to the eastern border to Iraq."The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also reported the fighting around Tal Tamr, which it said was coming under Islamic State artillery fire. Observatory director Rami Abdurrahman says the Islamic State extremists initially made gains before Kurdish fighters backed by local Assyrian militiamen pushed them back.The Observatory said at least eight militants were killed in the fighting and an unknown number of Kurds.The Assyrians are an indigenous Christian people who trace their roots back to ancient Mesopotamia.Also Saturday, Syrian state media said government airstrikes this week in the central province of Hama killed a local leader of the Islamic State group. It identified the slain militant as Deib Hdeijan al-Otaibi, also known as Abi Ammar al-Jazrawi, and said a convoy of vehicles was also destroyed in the air raids.Observatory director Abdurrahman also said al-Jazrawi had been killed, along with at least 25 other Islamic State fighters.
IS destroying Iraq’s ancient archaeological city of Hatra-Day after bulldozing Nimrud in purge of idolatry, terror group targets UNESCO heritage site that withstood invasion by the Romans
By Sameer N. Yacoub March 7, 2015, 8:00 pm 1the times of israel
BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi officials in the northern city of Mosul said Saturday that militants with the Islamic State group have begun demolishing the ancient archaeological site of Hatra in northern Iraq in a push to rid its territory of symbols it says promote idolatry.An official with the ministry of tourism and antiquities’ archaeological division in Mosul told The Associated Press that multiple residents living near Hatra heard two large explosions Saturday morning, then reported seeing bulldozers begin demolishing the site. He spoke anonymously for fear of reprisal.Saeed Mamuzini, a Kurdish official from Mosul, told the AP that the militants had begun carrying away artifacts from Hatra as early as Thursday and on Saturday, began to destroy the 2,000-year-old city.Hatra, located 110 kilometers (68 miles) southwest of the city of Mosul, was a large fortified city during the Parthian Empire and capital of the first Arab kingdom. The ancient city, a UNESCO world heritage site, is said to have withstood invasions by the Romans in A.D. 116 and 198 thanks to its high, thick walls reinforced by towers.The ancient trading center in Hatra spanned 6 kilometers (4 miles) in circumference and was supported by more than 160 towers. At its heart are a series of temples with a grand temple at the center — a structure supported by columns that once rose to 100 feet.The Sunni extremist group has been campaigning to purge ancient relics they say promote idolatry that violates their fundamentalist interpretation of Islamic law. A video they released last week shows them smashing artifacts in the Mosul museum and in January, the group burned hundreds of books from the Mosul library and Mosul University, including many rare manuscripts.The majority of the artifacts destroyed in the Mosul Museum attack were from Hatra.On Friday, the group looted artifacts from Nimrud, a 3,000-year-old city in Iraq, and bulldozed it in a move United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon declared “a war crime.”Iraqi Tourism and Antiquities Minister Adel Shirshab told the AP Saturday that many feared Hatra would suffer the same fate as Nimrud. “This is not unusual (behavior) for Daesh,” Shirshab said, using the Arabic acronym for the group.A statement on the ministry’s Facebook page Saturday said the government is investigating reports of the attack on Hatra, noting that the global community should hasten its response to the crisis in Iraq in order to prevent these types of atrocities.Last year, the militants destroyed the mosque believed to be the burial place of the Prophet Younis, or Jonah, as well as the Mosque of the Prophet Jirjis — both revered ancient shrines in Mosul. They also threatened to destroy Mosul’s 850-year old Crooked Minaret, but residents surrounded the structure, preventing the militants from approaching.A US-led coalition has been striking the Islamic State group since August and is preparing a large-scale operation to retake the city of Mosul. But US and Iraqi officials have been cautious about setting a timeline for preparing Iraq’s embattled military for the campaign.
IS destroying another ancient archaeological site in Iraq-Associated Press-By SAMEER N. YACOUB and VIVIAN SALAMA-MAR 7,15-YAHOONEWS
BAGHDAD (AP) — Islamic State militants continued their campaign targeting cultural heritage sites in territories they control in northern Iraq, looting and damaging the ancient city of Hatra just one day after bulldozing the historic city of Nimrud, according to Iraqi government officials and local residents. The destruction in Hatra comes as the militant Islamic group fended off an Iraqi army offensive in Saddam Hussein's hometown and fought pitched battles in eastern Syria in an area populated by predominantly Christian villages.Iraqi officials in the northern city of Mosul said Saturday that Islamic State militants have begun demolishing Hatra, a move UNESCO described as "cultural cleansing."
An official with the ministry of tourism and antiquities' archaeological division in Mosul told The Associated Press that multiple residents living near Hatra heard two large explosions Saturday morning, then reported seeing bulldozers begin demolishing the site.

At its heart are a series of temples with a grand temple at the center — a structure supported by columns that once rose to 100 feet."The destruction of Hatra marks a turning point in the appalling strategy of cultural cleansing underway in Iraq," said Irina Bokova, the director-general of UNESCO, and Abdulaziz Othman Altwaijri, director general of the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) in a joint statement."With this latest act of barbarism against Hatra, (the IS group) shows the contempt in which it holds the history and heritage of Arab people."Meanwhile in Syria, Islamic State militants attacked a string of predominantly Christian villages on Saturday, touching off heavy clashes with Kurdish militiamen and their local allies, activists said.The attack began around dawn and targeted at least three villages near the town of Tal Tamr along the Khabur River in Hassakeh province.

"Tal Tamr is the main goal of the Islamic State, to give them the corridor to the eastern border to Iraq."The Islamic State group currently controls about a third of Iraq and Syria. The Sunni extremist group has been campaigning to purge ancient relics they say promote idolatry that violates their fundamentalist interpretation of Islamic law.

"The money generated from such an operation will provide the militants with weapons and salaries."Habib said the international community should regulate the illegal trade of precious antiquities on the black market in order to prevent the sale of Iraqi artifacts by the IS group.Last year, the militants destroyed the mosque believed to be the burial place of the Prophet Younis, or Jonah, as well as the Mosque of the Prophet Jirjis — both revered ancient shrines in Mosul. They also threatened to destroy Mosul's 850-year old Crooked Minaret, but residents surrounded the structure, preventing the militants from approaching.A U.S.-led coalition has been striking the Islamic State group since August and is preparing a large-scale operation to retake the city of Mosul. But U.S. and Iraqi officials have been cautious about setting a timeline for preparing Iraq's embattled military for the campaign.Meanwhile a combined force of Iraqi government troops and Iranian-backed Shiite militias have begun a push to dislodge the Islamic State group from Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit, about 130 kilometers (80 miles) north of Baghdad.U.S. Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said during a current tour of the Middle East that he expected the Tikrit campaign to be successful. Dempsey was asked by reporters traveling with him overnight Friday from Washington to Bahrain whether he believes IS will be pushed out of Tikrit."Yeah, I do," he said. "The numbers are overwhelming."--Associated Press writers Ryan Lucas in Beirut, Robert Burns in Manama, Bahrain and Salar Salim in Irbil, Iraq contributed to this report.
Militants abduct more Christians, smash ancient artifacts-Associated Press-February 26, 2015 3:05 PM-YAHOONEWS
BEIRUT (AP) — Islamic State militants seized more Christians from their homes in northeastern Syria in the past three days, bringing the total number abducted by the extremist group to over 220, activists said Thursday.At the same time, the extremists also released a video showing the continued destruction of the heritage of the lands under their control. It depicted men using sledgehammers to smash ancient Mesopotamian statues and other artifacts in Iraq's northern city of Mosul.The video, coinciding with mounting fears over the fate of the captive Christian Assyrians in Syria, sent a fresh wave of dread across the region, particularly among minorities who feel targeted by the group."Daesh is wiping Assyrian heritage in Mosul, and at the same time wiping them geographically from the face of the Earth," said Osama Edward, director of the Assyrian Network for Human Rights in Syria. He referred to the Islamic State by its Arabic acronym.About 200 Assyrians and other Christians gathered in a church east of Beirut in solidarity with the victims in Syria and Iraq. Some cried openly.One man held a banner that read: "We will not surrender, we will not be broken." A few young men said they were preparing to go to Syria to fight and help their brethren defend their homes against the Islamic State group.The destruction of artifacts in the Mosul museum is part of a campaign by IS extremists who have destroyed a number of shrines — including Muslim holy sites — to eliminate what they view as heresy. They also are believed to have sold ancient artifacts on the black market in order to finance their bloody campaign in the region.In the video released Thursday, militants used sledgehammers and drills to smash and destroy several large statues, which are then shown chipped and in pieces. The five-minute video also shows a black-clad man at an archaeological site in Mosul, drilling through and destroying a winged-bull — an Assyrian protective deity — that dates to the 7th century B.C.The video was posted on social media accounts affiliated with the Islamic State group. Although it could not be independently verified by The Associated Press, it appeared to be authentic, based on knowledge of the Mosul Museum.A professor at the Archaeology College in Mosul confirmed to the AP that the two sites depicted in the video are the city museum and a location known as Nirgal Gate, one of several gates to the capital of the Assyrian Empire, Ninevah."I'm totally shocked," Amir al-Jumaili said by phone from outside of Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city. "It's a catastrophe. With the destruction of these artifacts, we can no longer be proud of Mosul's civilization."Very few of the museum pieces are not genuine, he said.Irina Bokova, director general of the U.N.'s culture agency UNESCO, said in a statement that she was "deeply shocked" at the video. She said she asked for an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council be convened "on the protection of Iraq's cultural heritage as an integral element for the country's security.""I condemn this as a deliberate attack against Iraq's millennial history and culture, and as an inflammatory incitement to violence and hatred," Bokova said.Mosul and surrounding Nineveh province fell to the militants in June 2014 after Iraqi security forces melted away.In their push, the extremists captured large parts of both Iraq and neighboring Syria. They declared a self-styled caliphate on territories that are under their control, killing members of religious minorities, driving others from their homes, enslaving women and destroying houses of worship.The Iraqi region under the control of the extremists has nearly 1,800 of the country's 12,000 registered archaeological sites, and the militants appear to be out to cleanse it of ideas they consider un-Islamic, including library books, relics and even Islamic sites considered idolatrous."The so-called Assyrians and Akkadians and others looked to gods for war, agriculture and rain to whom they offered sacrifices," said a man in the video, referring to groups that that left their mark on Mesopotamia for more than 5,000 years in what is now Iraq, eastern Syria and southern Turkey.Islamic State militants ransacked the Central Library of Mosul in January, smashing the locks and taking about 2,000 books, while leaving only Islamic texts. Days later, militants broke into University of Mosul's library and built a bonfire out of hundreds of books on science and culture, destroying them in front of students."Is this how Assyrians who gave civilization are rewarded?" asked Edward from his base in Stockholm. "What is all this hate?"Among the most important sites under the militants' control are four ancient cities: Ninevah, Kalhu, Dur Sharrukin and Ashur, which at different times were capitals of the mighty Assyrian Empire. The Assyrians first arose around 2,500 B.C. and once ruled from the Mediterranean coast to what is now Iran.In Syria, fears mounted over the fate of the abducted Christians, with at least 220 now being held captive, according to activists.An Assyrian in Beirut whose parents and sister were among a dozen relatives abducted said he called his father's mobile phone Monday and got a man who said: "This is the Islamic State." The man then briefly put the Assyrian's father on the line, and he said in a terrified voice not to worry, that they were being treated well. His relatives' mobiles have since been shut off. The Beirut resident spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared for his relatives' lives.
The abductions began Monday, when militants attacked a cluster of villages along the Khabur River, sending thousands of people fleeing to safer areas. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the militants picked up dozens more Assyrians from 11 communities near the town of Tal Tamr in the next few days.The province, which borders Turkey and Iraq, has become the latest battleground in the fight against the Islamic State group in Syria. It is predominantly Kurdish but also has populations of Arabs and predominantly Christian Assyrians and Armenians.Younan Talia, a senior official with the Assyrian Democratic Organization, said IS had raided 33 Assyrian villages, seizing as many as 300 people. Edward said his group had documented the names of 255 missing people.It was not possible to reconcile the numbers, and the fate of the hostages remained unclear."We are praying for them and we are fasting," said the Assyrian in Beirut. "I don't care if they burn the villages down, but please let them return safe."Salaheddin reported from Baghdad. Associated Press writer Cara Anna at the United Nations contributed to this report.
Saudi king aims for new Sunni bloc vs Iran and Islamic State-Reuters-By Angus McDowall and Amena Bakr March 5, 2015 1:37 PM-YAHOONEWS
RIYADH/DOHA (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia is pushing for Sunni Muslim Middle East countries to set aside differences over political Islam and focus on what it sees as more urgent threats from Iran and Islamic State.Its new monarch, King Salman, has used summits with leaders of all five Gulf Arab states, Jordan, Egypt and Turkey over the past 10 days to reinforce the need for unity and find a way to work around disagreements over the Muslim Brotherhood.Saudi Arabia's deep-seated mistrust of the Islamist group is unchanged, diplomats say. But King Salman's approach to it is more nuanced than that of his predecessor King Abdullah, who died in January, and may include being more indulgent of allies who allow its members space to operate.Last year Riyadh, along with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, withdrew its ambassador from Qatar over its links to the Brotherhood."The Saudis think maybe, if the Sunnis are on good terms, we can confront this. Salman is trying to consolidate the Sunni world and put differences over the Muslim Brotherhood on the back burner," said an Arab diplomat in the Gulf.Riyadh's bigger concern is Shi'ite Iran. Its fears about the rising influence of its main regional enemy have grown recently as Tehran's Houthi allies seized swathes of Yemen and its commanders have aided Shi'ite militias fighting in Iraq. Prospects are also growing of a deal between world powers and Iran on Tehran's disputed nuclear program, which might lift pressure on the Islamic republic. Saudi Arabia has watched nervously as its key ally, the United States, has reached out to pursue an agreement with Tehran.U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry reassured the Saudis on Thursday that he was seeking no "grand bargain" with Iran, but Riyadh's worries over Washington's long-term commitment to the region underpin its desire for more Arab unity.
LURE OF ISLAMIC STATE
The second overarching concern for Riyadh is Islamic State. IS has called on Saudis to stage attacks inside the kingdom and some of its sympathizers assaulted a Shi'ite village in November, killing eight.Riyadh fears the group's strong media messaging and appeal to strict Muslim ideology could appeal to disaffected young Saudis and challenge the ruling family's own legitimacy, which partly rests on its religious credentials.But in seeking broader unity across the Arab world on the issue of political Islam, Saudi Arabia must address a deep regional rift. It runs between Sunni states who accept a Muslim Brotherhood presence, such as Qatar and Turkey, and those such as Egypt and the United Arab Emirates who, like Riyadh, describe it as a terrorist organization.Those differences have come in the way of building a coherent response to regional crises, as attempts to address one problem after another have been diverted into arguments over Islamism." Saudi Arabia clearly doesn't want to be open to facing too many battles. IS and Iran are the enemy now, everything else can be put on hold," said a Western diplomat in the Gulf.Salman's whirlwind of meetings was presented as a chance for the new monarch to discuss events with the region's leaders in greater detail than was possible when they went to Riyadh to pay respects after the death of Abdullah.But while Salman did not directly push for a new Sunni bloc or lean on states to be more accommodating with those across the Muslim Brotherhood divide, he still opened the possibility of recalibrating relations to allow greater unity.In his meeting with Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, for instance, he suggested Riyadh might reinvigorate its relations with other countries, an apparent reference to strengthening ties with Turkey, the Arab diplomat said.But he also reassured Sisi, a close ally of the late Abdullah, that any attempts to undermine Egypt's security from elsewhere represented a red line for Saudi Arabia, and that any new moves Riyadh made would not be at Cairo's expense.
RIVAL IDEOLOGY
Nobody expects big changes to Saudi Arabia's position on the Muslim Brotherhood. The movement represents an ideological threat to Riyadh's dynastic system of rule, and its use of oaths of allegiance and secret meetings are anathema to the Saudis.The Brotherhood was listed by Riyadh as a terrorist organization a year ago, with membership incurring long prison sentences, and both Western and Arab diplomats, and analysts said there was little prospect its status would change.But Salman is less concerned than was Abdullah about the Brotherhood's role in other parts of the Middle East, such as in Yemen's Islah party or among Syrian rebel groups.He is also more willing to allow the Brotherhood a role outside politics, for example by not stopping preachers affiliated to the movement from making public speeches on religious or social issues.One sign of Salman's more pragmatic approach came during a conference in Mecca last week that brought together top Sunni clerics, including the Saudi grand mufti and the head of Egypt's al-Azhar University, to denounce terrorism.Informed Saudis noted it was hosted by the Muslim World League, a body set up by Riyadh in the 1960s to build an Islamic bloc against radical secular ideologies, and used in the 1980s to bolster Sunnis against revolutionary Iran.Under Abdullah, it fell out of favor partly because of its historical relationship with the Brotherhood, but Salman now seems prepared to use it again as an instrument to build Sunni solidarity. One of the delegates it invited was a senior member of a Doha-based group with close ties to the Brotherhood.The change may partly reflect the personality of Salman, who is less uncompromising than was Abdullah, say Gulf insiders, and who is more willing to use any tools at his disposal to counter bigger threats.All the leaders he met appeared to leave Riyadh confident that their relations with the new king would be strong.Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan told reporters after his meeting that ties with Saudi Arabia seemed to be improving, Turkey's Hurriyet daily newspaper reported on Wednesday."My hopes increased that our bilateral relations will reach a much better place," he was quoted as saying.But that did not lead him to be conciliatory towards Egypt, where he said political oppression might cause an explosion - exactly the sort of language that upsets Cairo.(Additional reporting by William Maclean in Dubai and Daren Butler in Istanbul; Editing by Mark Trevelyan)

Promises of love, jobs for foreign recruits in IS 'utopia'-AFP-By Mohamad Ali Harissi-MAR 7,15-YAHOONEWS
Beirut (AFP) - It has become known for horrific images of beheadings and torture, but the Islamic State group is trying to lure foreign recruits to its "caliphate" with promises of adventure, homes, jobs -- even love.Using sophisticated recruitment techniques, the jihadists have attracted hundreds of supporters from Western countries to the swathes of territory they have seized in Syria and Iraq.In the beginning, these efforts focused on luring young men to join the ranks of jihadist fighters.But IS is increasingly targeting young Western women, as dramatically illustrated last month when three British teenaged girls ran away from their London homes to join the jihadists.Experts say many are shocked by what they find in IS territory, but by then it is too late."IS sells its Islamic utopia to these young men and women," said Lina Khatib, head of the Carnegie Endowment's Middle East Centre in Beirut."It tells them that this is the only real Islamic state in the world, and that they can become important figures in it."Experts say the number of Westerners who have travelled to the "caliphate", which is more than twice the size of Jordan and home to about six million people, is about 3,000, including roughly 550 women.In the latest high-profile case, three close friends from London -- a 16-year-old and two 15-year-old girls -- are believed to have crossed into Syria last month after flying to Turkey from London.One of them is believed to have been in contact with Aqsa Mahmood, a woman from Glasgow, Scotland, who reportedly travelled to Syria last year to marry an IS fighter.Mahmood's English-language blog -- "Diary of a Muhajirah" (Diary of a Traveller) -- has become a key source of IS propaganda aimed at women.
- 'Till martyrdom do us part' -
"We don't pay rent here. Houses are given for free. We pay neither electric nor water bills. We are given monthly groceries. Spaghetti, pasta, can foods, rice, eggs," Mahmood wrote in one recent post.Work is available too, she said, for women who want jobs in education and health care.Marriage in IS territory also has its perks, Mahmood has written.IS fighters receive "seven days off" as part of the wedding celebrations and new brides can choose their own dowry -- but instead of requests for jewellery, they ask for Kalashnikovs."Newly married couples are given $700 as a gift," Mahmood wrote. "We don't have fireworks but we celebrate the wedding by gunshots and lots of takbeer," or shouts of "Allahu akbar" (God is greatest).A picture featured on her site of a bearded fighter and his new wife, dressed in a full white veil, was captioned: "Till martyrdom do us part."Responding to a question from a young girl conflicted about leaving her boyfriend and moving to Syria, Mahmood wrote: "I promise, that one day someone will hug you so tightly and fix back all the broken pieces -- Yes, it's your halal husband."The term halal is used to describe things -- from people to food and services -- that comply with Islamic religious requirements.
- 'An empty project' -
Other IS recruitment tools, such as its online English-language magazine Dabiq, also tout the benefits available to arriving foreigners."There are plenty of homes and resources to cover you and your family," the magazine has written. According to Iraqi officials, IS has redistributed to fighters any homes vacated by civilians fleeing the group's takeover.In its own version of classified ads, Dabiq advertised that IS needs "judges, people with military or administrative skills, doctors, and engineers" to travel to its territory. Carnegie's Khatib said it was clear that propagandists like Mahmood were working under the supervision of IS."If she's real, then there's no doubt that the Islamic State group supervises her," she said. "She's one of their recruitment tools.""These girls join this organisation looking for adventure... and some of them live in an imaginary world, dreaming of marrying fighters," Hassan Hassan, author of "ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror", told AFP.But once they have joined the ranks of IS, experts said, young recruits will find that trying to leave may cost them their lives.More than 120 people were killed between October and December for trying to leave IS territory, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group."I conducted interviews with two young men who came back from (IS-held) Raqa and other areas, and it was clear they were resentful and felt like they had been tricked," Khatib said.Instead of the Islamic utopia IS had promised, these young men encountered an area whose governance "was based on oppression and tells them not to think"."They felt like they had been sold an empty project."
Fight extremism, but also injustices that fuel it: UN rights chief-AFP-By Nina Larson March 5, 2015 4:00 PM-YAHOONEWS
Geneva (AFP) - In their battle against "terrorists", countries around the world must root out the injustices that fuel extremism and are used as recruiting tools, the UN human rights chief said Thursday."The struggle to combat extremist violence must tackle the visions of injustice that fuel it," Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein told the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.Countries needed to examine the "experiences of humiliation, inequality and discrimination that may drive, though they do not excuse, the urge to destroy," he said.In his annual report to the UN's highest rights body, Zeid decried a "shocking range of violations" carried out by jihadists from the Islamic State group (IS) in Syria, Iraq and Libya."Mass beheadings, burning people alive in cages, seemingly genocidal attacks on ethnic and religious groups... recruitment of children, the destruction of elements of the cultural heritage of humanity, and not least, particularly vicious and comprehensive attacks on the rights of women and girls."In a longer written version of his speech, he also lamented the "bloodbaths" carried out by Boko Haram in Nigeria, including using "young girls as remote-controlled bombs, in explosions that tear apart their bodies as well as those of many others."But while stressing the need to fight such extremism and bring the perpetrators to justice, Zeid warned that countries risked making the situation worse if their counter-terrorism operations were perceived as overzealous and unjust."The fight against terror is a struggle to uphold the values of democracy and human rights, not undermine them," he told the council.
- Propaganda tool -
"Counter-terrorist operations that are non-specific, disproportionate, brutal and inadequately supervised violate the very norms that we seek to defend," he said.Such operations, he added, "risk handing the terrorists a propaganda tool, thus making our societies neither free nor safe."Zeid pointed to the case of the United States, where the orange jumpsuits used at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp have been used as "a recruitment tool for (IS) and other groups."Perhaps the biggest driving force behind the extremist "mind-set" seen in the Middle East and elsewhere is the nearly four year Syrian conflict that has cost the lives of more than 210,000 people."The vengeful actions of the Syrian government, whose campaign of violent repression against what were originally peaceful protestors began four long years ago, have now morphed into wave upon wave of pitiless assaults by all sides," Zeid said.The actions of brutal regimes who trample on the rights of their people and ignore their basic needs fuel violent extremism, he warned, pointing out that the many people joining groups like IS have not been "suddenly and inexplicably hypnotised.""Extremism, however repugnant, is nurtured by ideology and by alienation fed by years of tyranny, corruption, repression, discrimination, deprivation and neglect of the legitimate rights of communities," Zeid said.Many of the recruits to IS, coming from more than 50 countries, are "filled with ill-defined rage at what they perceive as unfair treatment" and "may genuinely feel they are signing up to protect the abused," he warned.
Iraq forces face IS resistance but US says Tikrit will fall-AFP-By Mahmud Saleh-MAR 7,15-YAHOONEWS
Samarra (Iraq) (AFP) - Iraqi forces faced tough resistance from jihadist fighters around Tikrit Saturday, but the top US military officer said ahead of a Baghdad visit that victory was only a matter of time.Iran has actively and visibly supported Baghdad's biggest operation yet against the Islamic State group, but General Martin Dempsey insisted US air strikes north of Tikrit had been key."The Tikrit operation is only possible because of the air campaign we've been running around Baiji," a town further north, he said.The jihadist group's footprint in Iraq has been shrinking steadily since federal and Kurdish troops went on the counter-offensive roughly six months ago, with foreign military backing.The US military announced that a string of 26 air strikes over two weeks had succeeded in forcing IS out of Al-Baghdadi, a small town near a large Iraqi base in western Iraq where US advisers are stationed."Iraqi security forces and tribal fighters from the Anbar region have successfully cleared Al-Baghdadi of ISIL (IS), retaking both the police station and three Euphrates River bridges," it said.An offensive was also launched this week to recapture Gurma, another town in Anbar which is just 10 kilometres (six miles) from the IS stronghold of Fallujah and less than 30 kilometres from Baghdad airport."Gurma will soon be liberated totally, our forces are on the edge of town," a statement from Baghdad operations command said late on Friday.It claimed that 73 militants were killed in the first two days of fighting and a number of bombs defused.

Hospital sources told AFP that dozens of wounded government forces had been brought in but that the bodies of those killed were handed back to the families directly or sent to Najaf.An official with the religious authority in the holy city, where many Shiites want to be buried and which has the world's largest cemetery, said the bodies of 64 fighters killed in the Tikrit battle and elsewhere had been brought in since March 4.The government has provided no casualty toll for the much larger operation aimed at retaking Tikrit, which was launched on March 2.Residents living on the road between Samarra, where the operation's command centre is located, and Baghdad further south say convoys bringing back bodies have been passing regularly.IS fighters used several devastating truck bombs in the early hours of the operation, targeting the army, police, Shiite militias and volunteer units.Undated footage surfaced on the Internet Saturday of the bodies of eight men described as pro-government volunteers hanging from a bridge in Hawija, 75 kilometres north of Tikrit.Iraqi forces spent the operation's first days clearing outlying areas and are now closing in on Tikrit itself, as well as the towns of Al-Alam and Ad-Dawr.Tikrit is the home town of executed dictator Saddam Hussein and Ad-Dawr that of Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri, the most senior member of his regime still at large.
- Military rush hour -
"There are fierce clashes around Ad-Dawr, with army aircraft providing support against the threat of snipers and car bombs," an army lieutenant colonel told AFP.Dempsey, speaking to reporters aboard his plane en route to Bahrain and Iraq, said it was only a matter of time before IS was defeated in Tikrit."The numbers are overwhelming," he said, adding that "hundreds" of IS fighters were facing an estimated 23,000 government and allied forces.Columns of Iraqi military trucks and armoured vehicles along the main road to Tikrit resembled a rush hour traffic jam in Washington, "bumper to bumper," Dempsey said.He spoke of the role of Iran, which with the United States has been Iraq's other key foreign partner in the fight to reclaim the land lost last summer but is not a member of the 60-nation US-led coalition.Dempsey said he is "trying to get a sense for how our activities and their activities are complementary".The US general arrived in Bahrain Saturday and on Sunday will visit the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, which was recently deployed to contribute to the air campaign against IS.The jihadists have been responding by ramping up what UNESCO has called cultural cleansing, destroying heritage treasures one after the other.A week after releasing a video showing its militants smashing priceless statues inside Mosul museum, IS bulldozed the archaeological site of Nimrud just south of the city on Thursday, the antiquities ministry said.The destruction sparked a fresh round of global outrage, but experts said little could be done to save other heritage sites under IS control short of defeating the jihadists militarily.

IS attacks Christian villages in northeastern Syria-Associated Press-mar 7,15-yahoonews
BEIRUT (AP) — Islamic State militants attacked a string of predominantly Christian villages in northeastern Syria on Saturday, touching off heavy clashes with Kurdish militiamen and their local allies, activists said.The attack began around dawn and targeted at least three villages near the town of Tal Tamr along the Khabur River in Hassakeh province. The Islamic State group kidnapped more than 220 Assyrian Christians from the same area last month after overrunning several farming communities on the southern bank of the river.The fighting Saturday was focused in villages on the northern bank of the river as the militants press to capture Tal Tamr, a strategic crossroads some 35 kilometers (20 miles) from the city of Hassakeh, said Osama Edwards, director of the Assyrian Network for Human Rights."The battles are now very intensive, very violent," said Edwards, who is based in Sweden. "Tal Tamr is the main goal of the Islamic State, to give them the corridor to the eastern border to Iraq."The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also reported the fighting around Tal Tamr, which it said was coming under Islamic State artillery fire. Observatory director Rami Abdurrahman says the Islamic State extremists initially made gains before Kurdish fighters backed by local Assyrian militiamen pushed them back.The Observatory said at least eight militants were killed in the fighting and an unknown number of Kurds.The Assyrians are an indigenous Christian people who trace their roots back to ancient Mesopotamia.Also Saturday, Syrian state media said government airstrikes this week in the central province of Hama killed a local leader of the Islamic State group. It identified the slain militant as Deib Hdeijan al-Otaibi, also known as Abi Ammar al-Jazrawi, and said a convoy of vehicles was also destroyed in the air raids.Observatory director Abdurrahman also said al-Jazrawi had been killed, along with at least 25 other Islamic State fighters.
IS destroying Iraq’s ancient archaeological city of Hatra-Day after bulldozing Nimrud in purge of idolatry, terror group targets UNESCO heritage site that withstood invasion by the Romans
By Sameer N. Yacoub March 7, 2015, 8:00 pm 1the times of israel
BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi officials in the northern city of Mosul said Saturday that militants with the Islamic State group have begun demolishing the ancient archaeological site of Hatra in northern Iraq in a push to rid its territory of symbols it says promote idolatry.An official with the ministry of tourism and antiquities’ archaeological division in Mosul told The Associated Press that multiple residents living near Hatra heard two large explosions Saturday morning, then reported seeing bulldozers begin demolishing the site. He spoke anonymously for fear of reprisal.Saeed Mamuzini, a Kurdish official from Mosul, told the AP that the militants had begun carrying away artifacts from Hatra as early as Thursday and on Saturday, began to destroy the 2,000-year-old city.Hatra, located 110 kilometers (68 miles) southwest of the city of Mosul, was a large fortified city during the Parthian Empire and capital of the first Arab kingdom. The ancient city, a UNESCO world heritage site, is said to have withstood invasions by the Romans in A.D. 116 and 198 thanks to its high, thick walls reinforced by towers.The ancient trading center in Hatra spanned 6 kilometers (4 miles) in circumference and was supported by more than 160 towers. At its heart are a series of temples with a grand temple at the center — a structure supported by columns that once rose to 100 feet.The Sunni extremist group has been campaigning to purge ancient relics they say promote idolatry that violates their fundamentalist interpretation of Islamic law. A video they released last week shows them smashing artifacts in the Mosul museum and in January, the group burned hundreds of books from the Mosul library and Mosul University, including many rare manuscripts.The majority of the artifacts destroyed in the Mosul Museum attack were from Hatra.On Friday, the group looted artifacts from Nimrud, a 3,000-year-old city in Iraq, and bulldozed it in a move United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon declared “a war crime.”Iraqi Tourism and Antiquities Minister Adel Shirshab told the AP Saturday that many feared Hatra would suffer the same fate as Nimrud. “This is not unusual (behavior) for Daesh,” Shirshab said, using the Arabic acronym for the group.A statement on the ministry’s Facebook page Saturday said the government is investigating reports of the attack on Hatra, noting that the global community should hasten its response to the crisis in Iraq in order to prevent these types of atrocities.Last year, the militants destroyed the mosque believed to be the burial place of the Prophet Younis, or Jonah, as well as the Mosque of the Prophet Jirjis — both revered ancient shrines in Mosul. They also threatened to destroy Mosul’s 850-year old Crooked Minaret, but residents surrounded the structure, preventing the militants from approaching.A US-led coalition has been striking the Islamic State group since August and is preparing a large-scale operation to retake the city of Mosul. But US and Iraqi officials have been cautious about setting a timeline for preparing Iraq’s embattled military for the campaign.
IS destroying another ancient archaeological site in Iraq-Associated Press-By SAMEER N. YACOUB and VIVIAN SALAMA-MAR 7,15-YAHOONEWS
BAGHDAD (AP) — Islamic State militants continued their campaign targeting cultural heritage sites in territories they control in northern Iraq, looting and damaging the ancient city of Hatra just one day after bulldozing the historic city of Nimrud, according to Iraqi government officials and local residents. The destruction in Hatra comes as the militant Islamic group fended off an Iraqi army offensive in Saddam Hussein's hometown and fought pitched battles in eastern Syria in an area populated by predominantly Christian villages.Iraqi officials in the northern city of Mosul said Saturday that Islamic State militants have begun demolishing Hatra, a move UNESCO described as "cultural cleansing."
An official with the ministry of tourism and antiquities' archaeological division in Mosul told The Associated Press that multiple residents living near Hatra heard two large explosions Saturday morning, then reported seeing bulldozers begin demolishing the site.

The ancient trading center spanned 6 kilometers (4 miles) in circumference and was supported by more than 160 towers. At its heart are a series of temples with a grand temple at the center — a structure supported by columns that once rose to 100 feet."The destruction of Hatra marks a turning point in the appalling strategy of cultural cleansing underway in Iraq," said Irina Bokova, the director-general of UNESCO, and Abdulaziz Othman Altwaijri, director general of the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) in a joint statement."With this latest act of barbarism against Hatra, (the IS group) shows the contempt in which it holds the history and heritage of Arab people."Meanwhile in Syria, Islamic State militants attacked a string of predominantly Christian villages on Saturday, touching off heavy clashes with Kurdish militiamen and their local allies, activists said.The attack began around dawn and targeted at least three villages near the town of Tal Tamr along the Khabur River in Hassakeh province.

"Tal Tamr is the main goal of the Islamic State, to give them the corridor to the eastern border to Iraq."The Islamic State group currently controls about a third of Iraq and Syria. The Sunni extremist group has been campaigning to purge ancient relics they say promote idolatry that violates their fundamentalist interpretation of Islamic law.

"The money generated from such an operation will provide the militants with weapons and salaries."Habib said the international community should regulate the illegal trade of precious antiquities on the black market in order to prevent the sale of Iraqi artifacts by the IS group.Last year, the militants destroyed the mosque believed to be the burial place of the Prophet Younis, or Jonah, as well as the Mosque of the Prophet Jirjis — both revered ancient shrines in Mosul. They also threatened to destroy Mosul's 850-year old Crooked Minaret, but residents surrounded the structure, preventing the militants from approaching.A U.S.-led coalition has been striking the Islamic State group since August and is preparing a large-scale operation to retake the city of Mosul. But U.S. and Iraqi officials have been cautious about setting a timeline for preparing Iraq's embattled military for the campaign.Meanwhile a combined force of Iraqi government troops and Iranian-backed Shiite militias have begun a push to dislodge the Islamic State group from Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit, about 130 kilometers (80 miles) north of Baghdad.U.S. Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said during a current tour of the Middle East that he expected the Tikrit campaign to be successful. Dempsey was asked by reporters traveling with him overnight Friday from Washington to Bahrain whether he believes IS will be pushed out of Tikrit."Yeah, I do," he said. "The numbers are overwhelming."--Associated Press writers Ryan Lucas in Beirut, Robert Burns in Manama, Bahrain and Salar Salim in Irbil, Iraq contributed to this report.
Militants abduct more Christians, smash ancient artifacts-Associated Press-February 26, 2015 3:05 PM-YAHOONEWS
BEIRUT (AP) — Islamic State militants seized more Christians from their homes in northeastern Syria in the past three days, bringing the total number abducted by the extremist group to over 220, activists said Thursday.At the same time, the extremists also released a video showing the continued destruction of the heritage of the lands under their control. It depicted men using sledgehammers to smash ancient Mesopotamian statues and other artifacts in Iraq's northern city of Mosul.The video, coinciding with mounting fears over the fate of the captive Christian Assyrians in Syria, sent a fresh wave of dread across the region, particularly among minorities who feel targeted by the group."Daesh is wiping Assyrian heritage in Mosul, and at the same time wiping them geographically from the face of the Earth," said Osama Edward, director of the Assyrian Network for Human Rights in Syria. He referred to the Islamic State by its Arabic acronym.About 200 Assyrians and other Christians gathered in a church east of Beirut in solidarity with the victims in Syria and Iraq. Some cried openly.One man held a banner that read: "We will not surrender, we will not be broken." A few young men said they were preparing to go to Syria to fight and help their brethren defend their homes against the Islamic State group.The destruction of artifacts in the Mosul museum is part of a campaign by IS extremists who have destroyed a number of shrines — including Muslim holy sites — to eliminate what they view as heresy. They also are believed to have sold ancient artifacts on the black market in order to finance their bloody campaign in the region.In the video released Thursday, militants used sledgehammers and drills to smash and destroy several large statues, which are then shown chipped and in pieces. The five-minute video also shows a black-clad man at an archaeological site in Mosul, drilling through and destroying a winged-bull — an Assyrian protective deity — that dates to the 7th century B.C.The video was posted on social media accounts affiliated with the Islamic State group. Although it could not be independently verified by The Associated Press, it appeared to be authentic, based on knowledge of the Mosul Museum.A professor at the Archaeology College in Mosul confirmed to the AP that the two sites depicted in the video are the city museum and a location known as Nirgal Gate, one of several gates to the capital of the Assyrian Empire, Ninevah."I'm totally shocked," Amir al-Jumaili said by phone from outside of Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city. "It's a catastrophe. With the destruction of these artifacts, we can no longer be proud of Mosul's civilization."Very few of the museum pieces are not genuine, he said.Irina Bokova, director general of the U.N.'s culture agency UNESCO, said in a statement that she was "deeply shocked" at the video. She said she asked for an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council be convened "on the protection of Iraq's cultural heritage as an integral element for the country's security.""I condemn this as a deliberate attack against Iraq's millennial history and culture, and as an inflammatory incitement to violence and hatred," Bokova said.Mosul and surrounding Nineveh province fell to the militants in June 2014 after Iraqi security forces melted away.In their push, the extremists captured large parts of both Iraq and neighboring Syria. They declared a self-styled caliphate on territories that are under their control, killing members of religious minorities, driving others from their homes, enslaving women and destroying houses of worship.The Iraqi region under the control of the extremists has nearly 1,800 of the country's 12,000 registered archaeological sites, and the militants appear to be out to cleanse it of ideas they consider un-Islamic, including library books, relics and even Islamic sites considered idolatrous."The so-called Assyrians and Akkadians and others looked to gods for war, agriculture and rain to whom they offered sacrifices," said a man in the video, referring to groups that that left their mark on Mesopotamia for more than 5,000 years in what is now Iraq, eastern Syria and southern Turkey.Islamic State militants ransacked the Central Library of Mosul in January, smashing the locks and taking about 2,000 books, while leaving only Islamic texts. Days later, militants broke into University of Mosul's library and built a bonfire out of hundreds of books on science and culture, destroying them in front of students."Is this how Assyrians who gave civilization are rewarded?" asked Edward from his base in Stockholm. "What is all this hate?"Among the most important sites under the militants' control are four ancient cities: Ninevah, Kalhu, Dur Sharrukin and Ashur, which at different times were capitals of the mighty Assyrian Empire. The Assyrians first arose around 2,500 B.C. and once ruled from the Mediterranean coast to what is now Iran.In Syria, fears mounted over the fate of the abducted Christians, with at least 220 now being held captive, according to activists.An Assyrian in Beirut whose parents and sister were among a dozen relatives abducted said he called his father's mobile phone Monday and got a man who said: "This is the Islamic State." The man then briefly put the Assyrian's father on the line, and he said in a terrified voice not to worry, that they were being treated well. His relatives' mobiles have since been shut off. The Beirut resident spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared for his relatives' lives.
The abductions began Monday, when militants attacked a cluster of villages along the Khabur River, sending thousands of people fleeing to safer areas. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the militants picked up dozens more Assyrians from 11 communities near the town of Tal Tamr in the next few days.The province, which borders Turkey and Iraq, has become the latest battleground in the fight against the Islamic State group in Syria. It is predominantly Kurdish but also has populations of Arabs and predominantly Christian Assyrians and Armenians.Younan Talia, a senior official with the Assyrian Democratic Organization, said IS had raided 33 Assyrian villages, seizing as many as 300 people. Edward said his group had documented the names of 255 missing people.It was not possible to reconcile the numbers, and the fate of the hostages remained unclear."We are praying for them and we are fasting," said the Assyrian in Beirut. "I don't care if they burn the villages down, but please let them return safe."Salaheddin reported from Baghdad. Associated Press writer Cara Anna at the United Nations contributed to this report.
Saudi king aims for new Sunni bloc vs Iran and Islamic State-Reuters-By Angus McDowall and Amena Bakr March 5, 2015 1:37 PM-YAHOONEWS
RIYADH/DOHA (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia is pushing for Sunni Muslim Middle East countries to set aside differences over political Islam and focus on what it sees as more urgent threats from Iran and Islamic State.Its new monarch, King Salman, has used summits with leaders of all five Gulf Arab states, Jordan, Egypt and Turkey over the past 10 days to reinforce the need for unity and find a way to work around disagreements over the Muslim Brotherhood.Saudi Arabia's deep-seated mistrust of the Islamist group is unchanged, diplomats say. But King Salman's approach to it is more nuanced than that of his predecessor King Abdullah, who died in January, and may include being more indulgent of allies who allow its members space to operate.Last year Riyadh, along with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, withdrew its ambassador from Qatar over its links to the Brotherhood."The Saudis think maybe, if the Sunnis are on good terms, we can confront this. Salman is trying to consolidate the Sunni world and put differences over the Muslim Brotherhood on the back burner," said an Arab diplomat in the Gulf.Riyadh's bigger concern is Shi'ite Iran. Its fears about the rising influence of its main regional enemy have grown recently as Tehran's Houthi allies seized swathes of Yemen and its commanders have aided Shi'ite militias fighting in Iraq. Prospects are also growing of a deal between world powers and Iran on Tehran's disputed nuclear program, which might lift pressure on the Islamic republic. Saudi Arabia has watched nervously as its key ally, the United States, has reached out to pursue an agreement with Tehran.U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry reassured the Saudis on Thursday that he was seeking no "grand bargain" with Iran, but Riyadh's worries over Washington's long-term commitment to the region underpin its desire for more Arab unity.
LURE OF ISLAMIC STATE
The second overarching concern for Riyadh is Islamic State. IS has called on Saudis to stage attacks inside the kingdom and some of its sympathizers assaulted a Shi'ite village in November, killing eight.Riyadh fears the group's strong media messaging and appeal to strict Muslim ideology could appeal to disaffected young Saudis and challenge the ruling family's own legitimacy, which partly rests on its religious credentials.But in seeking broader unity across the Arab world on the issue of political Islam, Saudi Arabia must address a deep regional rift. It runs between Sunni states who accept a Muslim Brotherhood presence, such as Qatar and Turkey, and those such as Egypt and the United Arab Emirates who, like Riyadh, describe it as a terrorist organization.Those differences have come in the way of building a coherent response to regional crises, as attempts to address one problem after another have been diverted into arguments over Islamism." Saudi Arabia clearly doesn't want to be open to facing too many battles. IS and Iran are the enemy now, everything else can be put on hold," said a Western diplomat in the Gulf.Salman's whirlwind of meetings was presented as a chance for the new monarch to discuss events with the region's leaders in greater detail than was possible when they went to Riyadh to pay respects after the death of Abdullah.But while Salman did not directly push for a new Sunni bloc or lean on states to be more accommodating with those across the Muslim Brotherhood divide, he still opened the possibility of recalibrating relations to allow greater unity.In his meeting with Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, for instance, he suggested Riyadh might reinvigorate its relations with other countries, an apparent reference to strengthening ties with Turkey, the Arab diplomat said.But he also reassured Sisi, a close ally of the late Abdullah, that any attempts to undermine Egypt's security from elsewhere represented a red line for Saudi Arabia, and that any new moves Riyadh made would not be at Cairo's expense.
RIVAL IDEOLOGY
Nobody expects big changes to Saudi Arabia's position on the Muslim Brotherhood. The movement represents an ideological threat to Riyadh's dynastic system of rule, and its use of oaths of allegiance and secret meetings are anathema to the Saudis.The Brotherhood was listed by Riyadh as a terrorist organization a year ago, with membership incurring long prison sentences, and both Western and Arab diplomats, and analysts said there was little prospect its status would change.But Salman is less concerned than was Abdullah about the Brotherhood's role in other parts of the Middle East, such as in Yemen's Islah party or among Syrian rebel groups.He is also more willing to allow the Brotherhood a role outside politics, for example by not stopping preachers affiliated to the movement from making public speeches on religious or social issues.One sign of Salman's more pragmatic approach came during a conference in Mecca last week that brought together top Sunni clerics, including the Saudi grand mufti and the head of Egypt's al-Azhar University, to denounce terrorism.Informed Saudis noted it was hosted by the Muslim World League, a body set up by Riyadh in the 1960s to build an Islamic bloc against radical secular ideologies, and used in the 1980s to bolster Sunnis against revolutionary Iran.Under Abdullah, it fell out of favor partly because of its historical relationship with the Brotherhood, but Salman now seems prepared to use it again as an instrument to build Sunni solidarity. One of the delegates it invited was a senior member of a Doha-based group with close ties to the Brotherhood.The change may partly reflect the personality of Salman, who is less uncompromising than was Abdullah, say Gulf insiders, and who is more willing to use any tools at his disposal to counter bigger threats.All the leaders he met appeared to leave Riyadh confident that their relations with the new king would be strong.Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan told reporters after his meeting that ties with Saudi Arabia seemed to be improving, Turkey's Hurriyet daily newspaper reported on Wednesday."My hopes increased that our bilateral relations will reach a much better place," he was quoted as saying.But that did not lead him to be conciliatory towards Egypt, where he said political oppression might cause an explosion - exactly the sort of language that upsets Cairo.(Additional reporting by William Maclean in Dubai and Daren Butler in Istanbul; Editing by Mark Trevelyan)

Beirut (AFP) - It has become known for horrific images of beheadings and torture, but the Islamic State group is trying to lure foreign recruits to its "caliphate" with promises of adventure, homes, jobs -- even love.Using sophisticated recruitment techniques, the jihadists have attracted hundreds of supporters from Western countries to the swathes of territory they have seized in Syria and Iraq.In the beginning, these efforts focused on luring young men to join the ranks of jihadist fighters.But IS is increasingly targeting young Western women, as dramatically illustrated last month when three British teenaged girls ran away from their London homes to join the jihadists.Experts say many are shocked by what they find in IS territory, but by then it is too late."IS sells its Islamic utopia to these young men and women," said Lina Khatib, head of the Carnegie Endowment's Middle East Centre in Beirut."It tells them that this is the only real Islamic state in the world, and that they can become important figures in it."Experts say the number of Westerners who have travelled to the "caliphate", which is more than twice the size of Jordan and home to about six million people, is about 3,000, including roughly 550 women.In the latest high-profile case, three close friends from London -- a 16-year-old and two 15-year-old girls -- are believed to have crossed into Syria last month after flying to Turkey from London.One of them is believed to have been in contact with Aqsa Mahmood, a woman from Glasgow, Scotland, who reportedly travelled to Syria last year to marry an IS fighter.Mahmood's English-language blog -- "Diary of a Muhajirah" (Diary of a Traveller) -- has become a key source of IS propaganda aimed at women.
- 'Till martyrdom do us part' -
"We don't pay rent here. Houses are given for free. We pay neither electric nor water bills. We are given monthly groceries. Spaghetti, pasta, can foods, rice, eggs," Mahmood wrote in one recent post.Work is available too, she said, for women who want jobs in education and health care.Marriage in IS territory also has its perks, Mahmood has written.IS fighters receive "seven days off" as part of the wedding celebrations and new brides can choose their own dowry -- but instead of requests for jewellery, they ask for Kalashnikovs."Newly married couples are given $700 as a gift," Mahmood wrote. "We don't have fireworks but we celebrate the wedding by gunshots and lots of takbeer," or shouts of "Allahu akbar" (God is greatest).A picture featured on her site of a bearded fighter and his new wife, dressed in a full white veil, was captioned: "Till martyrdom do us part."Responding to a question from a young girl conflicted about leaving her boyfriend and moving to Syria, Mahmood wrote: "I promise, that one day someone will hug you so tightly and fix back all the broken pieces -- Yes, it's your halal husband."The term halal is used to describe things -- from people to food and services -- that comply with Islamic religious requirements.
- 'An empty project' -
Other IS recruitment tools, such as its online English-language magazine Dabiq, also tout the benefits available to arriving foreigners."There are plenty of homes and resources to cover you and your family," the magazine has written. According to Iraqi officials, IS has redistributed to fighters any homes vacated by civilians fleeing the group's takeover.In its own version of classified ads, Dabiq advertised that IS needs "judges, people with military or administrative skills, doctors, and engineers" to travel to its territory. Carnegie's Khatib said it was clear that propagandists like Mahmood were working under the supervision of IS."If she's real, then there's no doubt that the Islamic State group supervises her," she said. "She's one of their recruitment tools.""These girls join this organisation looking for adventure... and some of them live in an imaginary world, dreaming of marrying fighters," Hassan Hassan, author of "ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror", told AFP.But once they have joined the ranks of IS, experts said, young recruits will find that trying to leave may cost them their lives.More than 120 people were killed between October and December for trying to leave IS territory, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group."I conducted interviews with two young men who came back from (IS-held) Raqa and other areas, and it was clear they were resentful and felt like they had been tricked," Khatib said.Instead of the Islamic utopia IS had promised, these young men encountered an area whose governance "was based on oppression and tells them not to think"."They felt like they had been sold an empty project."
Fight extremism, but also injustices that fuel it: UN rights chief-AFP-By Nina Larson March 5, 2015 4:00 PM-YAHOONEWS
Geneva (AFP) - In their battle against "terrorists", countries around the world must root out the injustices that fuel extremism and are used as recruiting tools, the UN human rights chief said Thursday."The struggle to combat extremist violence must tackle the visions of injustice that fuel it," Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein told the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.Countries needed to examine the "experiences of humiliation, inequality and discrimination that may drive, though they do not excuse, the urge to destroy," he said.In his annual report to the UN's highest rights body, Zeid decried a "shocking range of violations" carried out by jihadists from the Islamic State group (IS) in Syria, Iraq and Libya."Mass beheadings, burning people alive in cages, seemingly genocidal attacks on ethnic and religious groups... recruitment of children, the destruction of elements of the cultural heritage of humanity, and not least, particularly vicious and comprehensive attacks on the rights of women and girls."In a longer written version of his speech, he also lamented the "bloodbaths" carried out by Boko Haram in Nigeria, including using "young girls as remote-controlled bombs, in explosions that tear apart their bodies as well as those of many others."But while stressing the need to fight such extremism and bring the perpetrators to justice, Zeid warned that countries risked making the situation worse if their counter-terrorism operations were perceived as overzealous and unjust."The fight against terror is a struggle to uphold the values of democracy and human rights, not undermine them," he told the council.
- Propaganda tool -
"Counter-terrorist operations that are non-specific, disproportionate, brutal and inadequately supervised violate the very norms that we seek to defend," he said.Such operations, he added, "risk handing the terrorists a propaganda tool, thus making our societies neither free nor safe."Zeid pointed to the case of the United States, where the orange jumpsuits used at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp have been used as "a recruitment tool for (IS) and other groups."Perhaps the biggest driving force behind the extremist "mind-set" seen in the Middle East and elsewhere is the nearly four year Syrian conflict that has cost the lives of more than 210,000 people."The vengeful actions of the Syrian government, whose campaign of violent repression against what were originally peaceful protestors began four long years ago, have now morphed into wave upon wave of pitiless assaults by all sides," Zeid said.The actions of brutal regimes who trample on the rights of their people and ignore their basic needs fuel violent extremism, he warned, pointing out that the many people joining groups like IS have not been "suddenly and inexplicably hypnotised.""Extremism, however repugnant, is nurtured by ideology and by alienation fed by years of tyranny, corruption, repression, discrimination, deprivation and neglect of the legitimate rights of communities," Zeid said.Many of the recruits to IS, coming from more than 50 countries, are "filled with ill-defined rage at what they perceive as unfair treatment" and "may genuinely feel they are signing up to protect the abused," he warned.
Iraq forces face IS resistance but US says Tikrit will fall-AFP-By Mahmud Saleh-MAR 7,15-YAHOONEWS
Samarra (Iraq) (AFP) - Iraqi forces faced tough resistance from jihadist fighters around Tikrit Saturday, but the top US military officer said ahead of a Baghdad visit that victory was only a matter of time.Iran has actively and visibly supported Baghdad's biggest operation yet against the Islamic State group, but General Martin Dempsey insisted US air strikes north of Tikrit had been key."The Tikrit operation is only possible because of the air campaign we've been running around Baiji," a town further north, he said.The jihadist group's footprint in Iraq has been shrinking steadily since federal and Kurdish troops went on the counter-offensive roughly six months ago, with foreign military backing.The US military announced that a string of 26 air strikes over two weeks had succeeded in forcing IS out of Al-Baghdadi, a small town near a large Iraqi base in western Iraq where US advisers are stationed."Iraqi security forces and tribal fighters from the Anbar region have successfully cleared Al-Baghdadi of ISIL (IS), retaking both the police station and three Euphrates River bridges," it said.An offensive was also launched this week to recapture Gurma, another town in Anbar which is just 10 kilometres (six miles) from the IS stronghold of Fallujah and less than 30 kilometres from Baghdad airport."Gurma will soon be liberated totally, our forces are on the edge of town," a statement from Baghdad operations command said late on Friday.It claimed that 73 militants were killed in the first two days of fighting and a number of bombs defused.
- Convoys of bodies -
Hospital sources told AFP that dozens of wounded government forces had been brought in but that the bodies of those killed were handed back to the families directly or sent to Najaf.An official with the religious authority in the holy city, where many Shiites want to be buried and which has the world's largest cemetery, said the bodies of 64 fighters killed in the Tikrit battle and elsewhere had been brought in since March 4.The government has provided no casualty toll for the much larger operation aimed at retaking Tikrit, which was launched on March 2.Residents living on the road between Samarra, where the operation's command centre is located, and Baghdad further south say convoys bringing back bodies have been passing regularly.IS fighters used several devastating truck bombs in the early hours of the operation, targeting the army, police, Shiite militias and volunteer units.Undated footage surfaced on the Internet Saturday of the bodies of eight men described as pro-government volunteers hanging from a bridge in Hawija, 75 kilometres north of Tikrit.Iraqi forces spent the operation's first days clearing outlying areas and are now closing in on Tikrit itself, as well as the towns of Al-Alam and Ad-Dawr.Tikrit is the home town of executed dictator Saddam Hussein and Ad-Dawr that of Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri, the most senior member of his regime still at large.
- Military rush hour -
"There are fierce clashes around Ad-Dawr, with army aircraft providing support against the threat of snipers and car bombs," an army lieutenant colonel told AFP.Dempsey, speaking to reporters aboard his plane en route to Bahrain and Iraq, said it was only a matter of time before IS was defeated in Tikrit."The numbers are overwhelming," he said, adding that "hundreds" of IS fighters were facing an estimated 23,000 government and allied forces.Columns of Iraqi military trucks and armoured vehicles along the main road to Tikrit resembled a rush hour traffic jam in Washington, "bumper to bumper," Dempsey said.He spoke of the role of Iran, which with the United States has been Iraq's other key foreign partner in the fight to reclaim the land lost last summer but is not a member of the 60-nation US-led coalition.Dempsey said he is "trying to get a sense for how our activities and their activities are complementary".The US general arrived in Bahrain Saturday and on Sunday will visit the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, which was recently deployed to contribute to the air campaign against IS.The jihadists have been responding by ramping up what UNESCO has called cultural cleansing, destroying heritage treasures one after the other.A week after releasing a video showing its militants smashing priceless statues inside Mosul museum, IS bulldozed the archaeological site of Nimrud just south of the city on Thursday, the antiquities ministry said.The destruction sparked a fresh round of global outrage, but experts said little could be done to save other heritage sites under IS control short of defeating the jihadists militarily.
