According to reports, KDP peshmergas detained Swedish fighters Jesper Soeder and Andreas Charalabos, and British fighters Andrew Johnwoodhead and Lee Egerton at a checkpoint in Akre city, Southern Kurdistan.

The driver accompanying the fighters was also taken into custody and it is not known yet where the fighters and their driver have been taken.

Jesper is a well know member of the SDF. The others are also know even outside of Syria.

The issue here? Has Barzani turned them over to Turkey for interrogation or prison?

Not a good situation for building toward a unification of Kurds.

Barzani is in it SOLELY for the money & power. He’ll have zero problems turning these Western patriots over to the Islamist Turks just as he’d have no problem betraying any of his fellow Kurds for a fistful of dollars or two fistfuls of Turkish lira.

Hopefully, the local American advisors will pressure him (or, more likely, bribe him) into doing the right thing.

If these are potential ISIS terrorists let’s hope the Kurds execute them ASAP.

NO. They are SDF Kurd anti-ISIS fighters.

I know about Barzani. You stated it well, he is close to Erdogan because of that. Surely, he must realize what is coming with Erdogan. Traitors don't fair well in long run.

30 pieces of silver?

Oh, I forgot he is Muslim. (sarcasm)

I know Muslims that are friends. Fact. Also know that problem is deeply embedded in their “book”. Headshake.

Read short piece this morning about Erdogan beginning the German “rat on your neighbors” routine. He has patterned himself after Hitler from the beginning. Even the stupid mustache.

Evil this great will eventually be extinguished.
