2 Americans accused of fighting for ISIS are captured by Kurds in Syria

BEIRUT — Kurdish forces in Syria said Sunday that they had captured two American citizens hiding out in the country’s final Islamic State stronghold.

In a statement, the Syrian Democratic Forces, or SDF, identified the detainees as Warren Christopher Clark, 34, and Zaid Abed al-Hamid, 35. It said the pair had been captured alongside three others suspected of being foreign recruits in the extremist group.

Law enforcement agencies say several dozen Americans joined the Islamic State in its once-sweeping self-proclaimed caliphate across Syria and Iraq. The SDF did not provide additional information about the two Americans it detained, but according to a report by George Washington University’s Program on Extremism, Clark had previously sought work with the Islamic State and sent a résumé and cover letter for an English-teaching job at the University of Mosul in Iraq.

Public hanging justified, and the sooner the better.

Best to open their skulls to see if there’s something wrong inside.

Be sure and establish their identities so their families can be ashamed of them.

The Kurds should have executed them, THEN reported the capture.

“How do the Kurds normally hand these things?”

They are excellent at killing them on the battlefield, but once they prisoners, these Kurds have no death penalty.

They are sitting on a bunch of foreigners, waiting for their countries to take them back - but few want to.

They were fighting for the enemy during a time of war.

Hang them.

The bogus WaPo, suitable only for fishwrap or bird cage lining, goes to great lengths to tell us the (BS) cover story, that Clark went to “teach English at the University of Mosul” and about how he had “worked as a substitute teacher in the Houston area”.

He was captured preparing to ambush a column of civilian refugees trying to leave the Hajin area in Syria. ISIS had ordered the civilians to stay as human shields.

They probably have both been longtime gunmen for ISIS, with a string of murders, rapes and slavery offenses under their belts; and likely extensive hard drug use (Captagon amphetamines and opiates), as is common in ISIS.
