Moscow, Russia - Abdulmajid Abakarov, a 12-year-old boy from Russia's troubled province of Dagestan, had not seen his mother in three years.
Zagidat Abakarova, 34, and her two younger children were "forcibly held" in Syria by her husband, who had joined ISIL, Russian officials said.

Abdulmajid knew exactly what he would do when he saw his mother.

The arrests "undermine further policies of North Caucasus authorities, [federal] Russian authorities, to return Russian nationals from conflict zones," Galina Tarasova of the Memorial human rights group told Al Jazeera.

Arabs are too rich and too inbred to fight for themselves, so they recruit retarded pawns (poor but equally inbred) from Central Asia, Europe, South Asia, and Russia.
All of a sudden Al Jazeera is warning us of diversity visa?
Since the USSR introduced them to terrorism and trained them up in the thousands, and those thousands trained up millions, why should this surprise anyone? Thanks NorseViking.
Al Jazeera and Obama & cronies are the only ones who use the term ISIL.
The number must be restated, as a proportion of the total population of the country, or else the number is useless.
