One of the surviving members of the group that organized the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 German citizen Muhammad Zammar has been captured by the YPG.
Muhammad Zammar, originally from Syria, had kept the German public and press busy for a long time. Zammar is known as the connecting member of the unit that organized the attacks of September 11, 2001, and was a close friend of the head planner Muhammed Ata.
Like Ata, Zammar was part of a Hamburg cell of Al Qaeda and he left Germany immediately after the attacks that changed the world and opened up a new era. Shortly after, German intelligence tracked him down to Morocco, and he was captured with help from the CIA.
Zammar had dual citizenship in Germany and Syria, and was handed over to the Damascus regime in 2002 where he stayed in prison until 2013. After he was released, Zammar immediately joined ISIS, and videos of him posing in front of ISIS flags had been leaked online.
Prominent German newspaper Bild announced in today’s issue that Zammar has been captured by YPG forces. The paper ran with the headline “German Jihadist in Kurdish Prison” and published information on Zammar, citing YPG as a source.
The paper announced that Zammar was held in a prison in the north of Syria, and argued that German politicians are not happy with the ISIS members captured by the YPG. The article stated that nobody knows what will happen to Zammar.
And Germany is not happy that our allies in the YPG captured him?
Sigh. What is wrong with the world?
I think that YPG equals the Kurds.
It’s not the clearest writing (or the best translation) — it says “German politicians are not happy with the ISIS members captured by the YPG”.
So it looks like they’re not happy with the ISIS members who were captured. But who would be.
I think that YPG equals the Kurds.
It is the People’s Protection Unit in the Syrian war.
Yekîneyên Parastina Gel (YPG)
Yes. The YPG and YPJ are the Kurdish militia that began when ISIS took over much of Northern Syria. They were the first group to stand against ISIS, in Kobani (finally when it was about to fall to ISIS we gave air support and they held)
That morphed into the SDF (Syrian Democratic Force).
With our help (air support, artillery, weapons and some advisors) they have almost eliminated ISIS in Northern Syria. It would be finished except for Turkey’s attack on Afrin.
He is a dual German and Syrian citizen. Guess Germany thinks the YPG are bad guys. Headshake.
Germany does not want the death penalty in Iraq for their terrorist... imagine if Iran threatned us if we executed Bin Laden...
Another mohammed. Big surprise that name keeps popping up with anything having to do with death and destruction.
I wonder if the YPG could be talked in to turning him over to the United States.
I thought maybe a "Yemeni Propelled Grenade"...
Germany is angry that their citizen joined ISIS after being freed.......................
GITMO!!!
Yes, he is a German citizen and as they see it, the YPG are terrorists.
The YPG have never been terrorists. In spite of what is said about them by Turkey.
Germany helped create this mess. And their POLs are still not convinced that our “ally” Turkey is an unfaithful ally. Fatal Error.
OH, yes they will be happy to do just that.
I’ll be glad to make the request if you like.
I know some people who are named Mohammed who are not terrorists. Many Terrorists are named Mohammed.
There would be many leftist funded lawyers waiting for him in the U.S. or Gitmo.
I hope Pompeo and Trump have some smart alternatives.
The prisoner is not in Iraq, he is in Northern Syria.
You are correct, many men and women ISIS members have been executed in Iraq. And the sentences were carried out without delay.
I have not heard of that in Syria. Suspect some have been, but it is a totally different situation.
Germany is angry that their citizen joined ISIS after being freed.
