A Kurdish official with the SDF has shared a video with reporters which he says shows a small group of ISIS prisoners escaping from the Navkur prison in Qamishlo. I’m not on the ground so this needs further confirmation, but if true this is not good news.
The SDF has not shared which prisoners are held in which facility, but I wanted to list some of the most dangerous detainees so that we can better grasp what is at stake here if the Kurds are unable to secure the prisons & camps holding the 1000s of ISIS members + relatives
According to
@JcBrisard who has done some of the deepest work on French jihadists, one of the most crucial is Adrian Guihal, subject of a French arrest warrant. He claimed responsibility for the Nice, St Etienne & Magnanville attacks in France. The Nice attack killed 87 people
The horrific Nice attack in which the assailant drove a refrigerated truck onto the crowded promenade, crushing dozens of people, has become iconic not just for ISIS but also for white extremists. The Charlottesville attack which killed one is believed to be inspired by Nice
Among the mysteries of the Nice attack is the extent of the assailant’s links to ISIS, a question Adrian Guihal may be able to answer. In addition, there are numerous accessories to mass murder in the Kurdish-held facilities. Take Swiss jihadist Damien Grivat.
Damien had foreknowledge of the coordinated Paris attacks which killed 130 people. The research of
@JcBrisard indicates that he reached out to his sister hours before the 2015 killings to warn her:
Among the women being held at al-Hol, who have been portrayed as brainwashed spouses, are Mylène Facre & Dorothée Maquere, wives of the Clain brothers, senior members of the external ops branch of the Emni (or Amniyat), the unit that coordinated attacks worldwide
Canadian Mohammed Khalifa, the English-language narrator of ISIS propaganda, who gave his first interview to me earlier this year, is the keeper of many of ISIS’ secrets. He worked under the emir of ISIS’ media ministry, a unit closely tied to attacks

The list of dangerous terrorists goes on and on.
So what is happening:
TURKEY HAS BOMBED THIS PRISON! and hence the prisoners could escape.
It beggars belief, but this is happening. Erdogan is attacking the Kurds and allowing ISIS to escape in the meantime.
