People can decry Debka all they want.

In this case, a lot of highly reliable, reputable sources are saying very similar things.

Besides that, Debka has more hits than people give them credit for.

And in today's complex world rife with floods of disinformation and great complexities at best . . . no one's going to get it anywhere near 100% right even most of the time.

Well, I worry about kidnappings of Americans abroad a lot, because my daughter is married to a missionary. They and three of their children live in a country that is 95% Muslim.

This is an instance where I hope Debka is totally wrong, but...kidnapping works for the Filipino Muslims as a terror tool. Why not in Iraq?
