Also: 43 peacekeepers seized in that area on Thursday are Fijians. The U.N. said in a statement that it was making every effort to secure the release of the captured peacekeepers.

Given how ISIS deals with prisoners this could be a very bad week in Fiji.

Their Caliph and Generals were released by Obama.

The MSM will discuss THAT as often as the IRS atrocity.

I was reading that ISIS has a slaughterhouse operation and at least some of the captives were processed for being consumed.

unless we are prepared ti fight barbaric like ISIS we will never defeat them. They are typical of all Muslims. It is their faith that compels them to do this

The US Navy has one of its own, which ISIS might soon meet up close and personal:

They are serving as peacekeepers/observers on the Golan heights. They are supposed to prevent incidents on that disputed border. The same sort of people serve on the Israel-Lebanon border.
This is a noble effort, generally, but often politically compromised.
Many countries send units to these peacekeeping detachments. Some do it because they are compensated by the UN, so you could say they are benevolent mercenaries; others because it is good training; others because it satisfies their own humanitarian vision, or at least serves as good PR for their government and armed forces.
The Golan heights fighting involved non-ISIS rebels, so I think the odds are the Fijians will be released unharmed.

You have to wonder why anybody bothers to surrender to them anymore.
