You would think that law would apply, but it depends upon the meaning of “foreign state.”

Pop quiz: ISIS is a political subdivision of what foreign state?

Actual want to atone and/or quit or just become easy-insert assets in the “cause”????

“ISIS is a political subdivision of what foreign state?”

It’s hard to pin them down with an actual country. They were part of the Sunni set up under Saddam but have moved on. Like the Taliban and Al Qaeda, they kind of take land and try to sophisticate it with government assisted things like water and food. Their largest land control was in northern Syria, but it all fluctuates.

Their leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, has been found injured or dead so many times he embarrasses a cat. His family claims to trace its lineage back to the descendants of Prophet Muhammad. He was a citizen of Iraq born in 1971. He is believed at the time I left the military, to be still alive with others either claiming to be him or working for him. No one is sure.

For a good shred on them, and I’m embarrassed to use them, try this site:

An increasing number of jihadists active in Syria are fearing for their lives. The result: they want to go back to the Western countries where most of them were born and raised.

Sure they want to go "home" so they can commit acts of terror there.

Aye, and that is the problem with current law and these stateless entities.
