Released Prisoners Tell of IS Torture, Executionsby webdesk@voanews.com (Sharon Behn)
Saad Khelef Ali Feraj covered his face with his hands and started sobbing. “I can’t describe how I feel," he says. "I was dead.” A former policeman, Feraj was one of 69 Sunni Arabs imprisoned and tortured by Islamic State (IS) militants before being freed in a joint Kurdish-U.S. military raid October 22. In a video released by the Kurdistan Region Security Council on Monday, Feraj spoke of repeated beatings, of plastic bags being placed over his head, of his brother being beheaded and the militants giving him the head to bury. Feraj, who said he is now safe in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, then continued: “God sent us the Counter Terrorism Forces of the Kurdistan Region and U.S. Special Forces. I thank our father and leader Masoud Barzani.” It was a mantra repeated in different variations by all 10 freed prisoners who stood and spoke to the camera, framed by a large portrait of Barzani, Kurdistan’s regional president. The video starts with dramatic footage of the raid, in which there are American voices, including one shouting instructions — “Hold that guy there” — and orders in Arabic for the prisoners to move quickly. WATCH: Video of raid It then cuts to a scene of released prisoners shaking hands with and kissing the cheeks of Peshmerga forces before sitting in rows in a large room; Barzani’s portrait hangs prominently in the back, flanked by flags of Kurdistan and Kurdistan’s Security Council. Despite what some call clear propaganda, the video testimony is chilling. Mohammed Hassan Abdullah, another policeman from Hawija, in the district of Kirkuk, said he was tortured with electric shocks, had a bag placed over his head until he lost consciousness, then shocked again. “They would execute two or three or four hostages every day,” said Abdullah, his words translated in subtitles provided by the Kurdistan video. Ahmad Mahmud Mustafa, who said he had been arrested by IS extremists multiple times, said the torture would typically continue until there was a confession. But those who confessed would then be executed. Not confessing would lead to more torture. “They would cover our eyes and tie us with handcuffs. The first thing they did was is pour water over us, then they’d use electric shocks,” he said. “We had to say something. 'Who are you part of?' they’d ask. Torture would continue unless there was a confession.” VOA could not independently confirm the prisoners’ accounts. It was not clear why the men had been arrested, although Hussein Ali Alhemdani said he was arrested because he had worked for the Hawija Council, and his brother was a council member. Saib Abdullah Msahir Aljaburi said he had been detained because he had sent his degree to the Iraqi Ministry of Defense. The Aljaburi tribe is one of the Iraqi Sunni tribes who have fought IS militants. Ahmed Abd Aljaburi of the Abasi district of Hawija, where the prisoners were being held, described how IS used the promise of food and money as a recruitment tool. “For a year and six months, I had no money or job, I said I am hungry and [IS] said 'if you … swear allegiance and kill the apostate you will receive 60,000 Iraqi dinar [about $53] and gas, oil and other things.” Abd Aljaburi also said IS militants were forcing those men with more than one wife to hand over additional wives as gifts to foreign fighters who joined the extremists. “Either you accept or die,” he said. Although illegal in Iraq, polygamy is part of the country’s Islamic traditions and has become more common with the increased number of war widows unable to provide for themselves. The video concludes with a scene — set to soft piano music — of ex-prisoners, seated on a grass lawn, being handed candy, sandwiches and juice boxes by uniformed Kurdish Peshmerga forces in the Kurdistan regional capital of Erbil. Sirwan Kajjo contributed to this report.

Advanced Weapons May Reach Syrian Rebels Despite US Concerns by webdesk@voanews.com (Jeff Seldin, Jamie Dettmer)
It may be just a matter of time before Russia’s continuing air assault on Syrian rebels persuades some of those backing rebel groups to even the fight by providing shoulder fired anti-aircraft missiles. The U.S. has consistently rejected proposals to provide the advanced weaponry, also known as MANPADs, to rebel groups, citing the damage they could do in the wrong hands and the fear that providing such weapons could draw Washington and its allies into an even more direct proxy war with Moscow. But officials fear that, at some point, U.S. allies may decide it is worth the risk. “If there’s a perceived threat, there’ll be some sort of counter action,” a U.S. official told VOA on condition of anonymity, adding there is no evidence yet that any rebel groups are being supplied with MANPADs. Syrian rebel groups have been desperate to get their hands on the advanced weaponry for years, first to counter the Syrian regime’s warplanes and more recently to fight back against the Russian bombing campaign. In 2013, some MANPADS did appear on the battlefield and Qatar was widely believed to have been the supplier, although this was denied by Doha. There have even been persistent rumors about some Chinese made MANPADs reaching Syria via the black market, although military and intelligence officials have said there are no signs of any widespread use. Still, U.S. officials remain concerned. For the Syrian rebels, MANPADS would take away the one clear military advantage the Syrian government has over them — warplanes. "Rumors of the impending provision of MANPADS to Syrian opposition forces reflect a desire to blunt the Russian actions by both opposition elements and some of their supporters,” according to a U.S. intelligence official who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. “Such speculation further shows Putin’s actions are only making a bad situation worse,” the official added, calling an influx of MANPADs into an area with so many terrorist groups “beyond dangerous.” There also are concerns about whether even vetted rebel groups could use them effectively. “The difficulty is in confirming a target,” a U.S. official said. “Do they know if they’re engaging a Russian aircraft?” Several rebel commanders admitted to VOA that they have been on the black market trying to secure MANPADS with funds provided by wealthy Syrian expatriates. Asked if Fastaqim Kama Umirt, a brigade aligned to the rebel alliance Jaish al-Mujahideen (Army of Holy Warriors), has been trying to get anti-aircraft missiles, Zakaria Malahefji, a spokesman for the militia, nodded his assent, saying, “Sure.” He said they met military officials last Thursday at the Turkey-based Military Operations Center staffed by Arab and Western intelligence personnel, including CIA officials, and, as well as requesting TOW anti-tank missiles, pressed the importance for the rebels of MANPADS, but it was made clear none would be forthcoming. Abdul Rahman, a commander with the Ahfad Omer battalion, part of the larger First Brigade, a U.S. backed secular militia, said they had made several attempts to buy MANPADS and recently had been negotiating with a mafia group in Turkey, but they realized they were being set up for fraud. “We understood that they didn’t have access to the weapons they claimed,” he explained. He said he has hopes that Saudi Arabia and Qatar may tire with the U.S. ban on supplying MANPADS and break coalition ranks, but that the Gulf countries are not ready to flaunt the Americans. “No one will give us any, we are really suffering because of this.” He added: “We are trying all kinds of ways to get them, including from the mafia, on the black market, anything we can think of to get some. Whatever money they want, we can give them.” And they have cast far afield to net a supply of the missiles, including approaching Pakistani authorities. “They told us they would consider the request, but we have heard nothing,” he said. They are taking the non-response as meaning no. Some militias also have tried to recruit engineers from overseas to help them rig their own anti-aircraft missiles from old, non-functioning shoulder fired ones they seized in the past from Syrian government armories, but so far have failed to find any engineers willing to travel to war-torn Syria. Earlier this month, General Salim Idris,a top rebel commander, told VOA that shoulder fired anti-aircraft missiles would prove a major game changer on the battlefield, and that he had tried many times in the past four years to persuade the West and Gulf countries to supply them, but they feared the missiles would fall into jihadist hands. He has been pressing for them again since the Russian air campaign, but holds out no hope the coalition will rethink its position. One rebel commander noted that even if they do manage to secure some supplies on the black market, they will face the big challenge of getting them across the border. “How do we get them past the Turks?” he mused aloud.

US, Indonesia Agree to Deepen ‘Key Strategic Partnership’by webdesk@voanews.com (Mary Alice Salinas)
The United States and Indonesia have agreed to deepen cooperation after talks the White House says are part of the U.S. effort to rebalance toward the Asia-Pacific region. President Barack Obama met with Indonesian President Joko Widodo on Monday. Topics included climate change, security, trade, terrorism and maritime cooperation. After the talks, Obama called Indonesia “a key strategic partnership” in the region. He noted it is one of the world’s largest democracies, with a population of roughly 250 million, that it is a Muslim country with a tradition of moderation and tolerance, its leadership role in the region and Jakarta’s role in trade, commerce and economic development. The Indonesian president, who prefers to be called Jokowi, said his country is “an open economy. We are the largest economy in Southeast Asia,” he said. “And Indonesia intends to join the TPP (Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership.) Indonesia represents half of Southeast Asia’s economy, but Murray Heibert with the Center for Strategic and International Studies said the country is highly protectionist. “Trade levels with the United States are the level of Honduras and some of the countries in Central America. It’s got 250 million people. That’s pretty miserably small trade,” he said. Although Jokowi expressed interest in joining the Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership, he faces intense opposition at home. “He does have limits to how far he can go,” Heibert said. The Indonesian president canceled plans to visit business leaders on the West Coast, because of raging forest and peatland fires at home. The blazes caused a haze of carbon emissions to linger over many areas. The fires are blamed on deforestation and El Nino weather patterns. The White House said the talks are part of the U.S. pivot toward the Asia-Pacific region, where it seeks to increase Washington’s influence. Obama hosted Japan’s president in April, China’s leader in September and the president of South Korea earlier in October. Jokowi is the first Indonesian leader to visit the United States in a decade. He took office a year ago as an outsider, promising change in the world's most populous Muslim country, but like Obama, when he assumed power six years ago, has encountered economic difficulties. The Indonesian chief is looking to attract more American investment in his country, where only 17 percent of the country's people are connected to the Internet, far less than in many countries throughout the world. Indonesia balances its relations between the United States and China, but has been concerned about Beijing's maritime claims in the South China Sea.
