Syria conflict: Rebels set up internment camp for IS defectors - BBC News

So this will blow some INGOers' minds:

"Those who didn't want to go back or had committed crimes are being referred to a Sharia court, which rules by [Islamic] law and punishes according to the gravity of crime committed."

So yes, Sharia law is used to punish Daesh.

Sort of a big story, if true. Consider the source, however.

In leaked audio Kerry admits the US watched ISIS grow stronger in Syria so they could use it against Assad, but then Russia stepped in

Not really... Not if we don't know what the "crimes" are. Any info? I could not find it.
If the are being punished for drinking or something stupid then I am not impressed.
Setting an infidel on fire in a cage? I think that's a freebie.

I had a patient who had horrible back pain. I saw a cancer on his CT close to where his nerve was that was causing all
of his pain. Rather than recommend fighting the cancer I recommended we let it grow and maybe it will kill the nerve that is causing his pain. His widow and I still talk occasionally

And that's why people call him amature. If you really think playing hardball is the right game, probably ought to leave it to the professionals. Like Dick Cheney.

Pakistan: IS attack on Sufi shrine in Sindh kills dozens - BBC News

Pakistan getting hit pretty hard. This is a fairly new front for Daesh, I think.

Daesh fanbois Abu Sayyaf beheaded a German hostage, Juergen Kantner. Video available on the web, but is pretty much like any other beheading, although he seemed to struggle at the last minute a bit more than most. Not enough rehearsals for him to become inured to the possibility.

Anyway, his female companion at the time of the hostage-taking, Sabine Merz, was killed trying to resist. Probably better that way.

He'd been hijacked and taken hostage on his yacht by Somali pirates in 2008, and a ransom was paid. Abu Sayyaf wanted a ransom, too, but apparently Germans only get one ransom per lifetime.

US Iraq Envoy Says Islamic State Surrounded and 'Trapped' in Mosul

US envoy in Iraq predicts end of Daesh in Mosul, perhaps in Iraq overall.

Somewhat old news now, but the Obama-Trump transition included US troops in that theater. Still. Again.

On a related note, more troops to Syria to fight Daesh.

In what I fear might be foreshadowing of attacks in the US, Daesh claims responsibility for Palm Sunday attacks on Coptic churches in Egypt.

At least 44 Christians killed.
