The leader of the Islamic State may be dead, but the world is not a safer place according to one former ISIS member.
Muhammed Hasik is an Islamic State fighter in prison in northern Iraq. In an interview with ABC News’ Senior Foreign Correspondent Ian Pannell, Hasik offered a rare and chilling insight into the mind of an ISIS operative.
Six months after joining, he returned to Germany but fearing another spell in jail went back to Syria.In the same month he joined, ISIS captured the town of Sinjar during their surge through much of northern Iraq and Syria. There, they began a comprehensive attack on the Yazidis, slaughtering many and capturing women and girls as sex slaves.
The prisoner, who is married and has two children in Germany, said he is “finished with Islamic State.”“Yes, of course,” he said. “Because I didn't break no law in my eyes.” But with more than a hundred ISIS prisoners reportedly on the loose having escaped from Syrian jails, the group is down, but not out. Security analysts are concerned they have become emboldened since Turkish forces launched a military incursion into Kurdish-held territory earlier this month.
