reports that officials have boosted security at al-Hawl refugee camp after a female ISIS member stabbed the guard in the back with a knife, and fled the overcrowded facility in Syria.
Reports of the continued violence at the al-Hawl camp come as the United Nations warns that terror kingpin Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi plans to "continue carrying out international attacks".
The MailOnline says that families of ISIS fighters at al-Hawl – also known as al-Hol – are still aligned to the death group boss, and are keen to fight for him.
Speaking about one of the recent stabbings with Rudaw, Sheikh Mus Ahmed, an official in charge of camps in northern and eastern Syria, said: "An ISIS woman in al-Hol camp had asked the camp administration to leave for shopping.
"She was allowed and was escorted out by a security member of the camp. But on the way, the ISIS woman stabbed the security member in the back."
It's not known what the attacker's name or nationality is.
The ISIS leadership aims to adapt, survive… and to establish sleeper cells at the local level in preparation for eventual resurgence.
UN report July 2019 The UN said the terror group is “adapting, consolidating and creating conditions for eventual resurgence in its Iraqi and Syrian heartlands.”
In its recently released quarterly report on ISIS, it says this drive “is more advanced in Iraq, where Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and most of the [ISIS] leadership are now based.”
In a video message in late April this year, al-Baghdadi confirmed that the group “still aspires to have global relevance and expects to achieve this by continuing to carry out international attacks”, the UN warns.
Its report adds that “the leadership aims to adapt, survive… and to establish sleeper cells at the local level in preparation for eventual resurgence, while using propaganda to maintain the group’s reputation as the leading global terrorist brand – the ‘virtual caliphate’."
With the fall of Baghuz in March 2019, the geographical so-called ‘caliphate’ of ISIS ceased to exist, so the group has continued to operate as a mainly covert network, the UN explains.
GUARDS BESIEGED The Sun Online reported during its demise that ISIS brides rioted after the caliphate they supported collapsed, besieging guards at the al-Hawl camp.
They threw rocks at police and vowed chilling revenge, as brainwashed followers warned: “We will seek vengeance; there will be blood up to your knees.”
When news agency the Associated Press visited the camp in April, it was told that women in general were often active participants in ISIS’s rule and some had joined women’s branches of the ‘Hisba’, the religious police who brutally enforced the group’s laws.
While the AP was there, women in all-covering black robes and veils known as niqab tried to intimidate anyone speaking to journalists; children threw stones at visitors, calling them “dogs” and “infidels.”
Advertisement , warns that unless the situation at the al-Hawl and Rukban camps are dealt with urgently, “both are potential time bombs that will blow up in the not-too-distant future, leading to more radicalisation and violence.”
This appears to have been borne out as radicalised kids as young as two have appeared in a disturbing new video praising ISIS and vowing to "crush" Westerners by "standing on their heads".
The chilling footage is believed to have been filmed in a tent purportedly based in the al-Hawl camp – where Brit ISIS bride Shamima Begum originally lived as a refugee in Syria.
Kids born to wives and fighters of the terror cult are being radicalised at increasingly younger ages, as they're largely left to fend for themselves in refugee camps throughout Syria.
Other footage to emerge from the camp shows women and kids raising the ISIS flag at al-Hawl.
In that video, a group of women and kids cheer as a young boy scales a lamp post and unfurls the black ISIS flag.
The flag-raising footage was circulated among ISIS fanatics with the message: “This is not the end but the beginning, because our mothers and sisters know how to grow cubs to become fearless lions.”
UN Security Council's quarterly report on ISIS
In its July 2019 report, the UN Security Council said ISIS is "much stronger than Al-Qaida in terms of finances, media profile and current combat experience and terrorist expertise, and remains the more immediate threat to global security."
It warned that the issue of "foreign terrorist fighters, returnees, relocators and detainees in the conflict zone have become more urgent since the fall of Baghuz.
"Many member states are concerned about the security and humanitarian challenges of the post- 'caliphate' phase."
The UN's update adds that while militarily defeated, ISIS "still has large number of fighters and other supporters in Iraq and the Syrian Arab Republic, and is able to operate freely in many locations and mount regular attacks to show its potency."
In regards to foreign terrorist fighters, "up to 30,000 of those who travelled to the so-called caliphate may still be alive... some will become leaders or radicalisers, including in prisons if they are successfully prosecuted.
"[Wives and children] such as those as al-Hawl [camp] may come to pose a threat if they are not dealt with appropriately."
