Rebels who arrest ISIL commander's wife look for swap deal


Sheikh Abdullah al-Mouheisni, the powerful commander in the State of Iraq and The Levant revealed more information over the kidnapping case of Hajji Baker’s wife who had been arrested by Islamists rebels week ago.

Mouheisni said via social media that the women with her children under Al Tawhid brigade custody in Azaz, Aleppo countryside.  “They are safe, there’s no signs for torture or insult,” he said.

Al Tawhid commander in Azaz says according to Mouheisni that rebels are pursuing a swap deal to exchange their detainees  by baker’s wife.

Nearly 1,400 people have been killed in Syria since clashes between rebel forces and the jihadist (ISIL) erupted this month, AFP reported.

“The number of people killed in fighting between the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and Islamist and rebel forces since January 3 has risen to 1,395,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

The Observatory said the figure included 760 moderate and Islamist rebels, 426 ISIL fighters, 190 civilians and 19 others whose identities have not been established.

Clashes between rebels and jihadists from ISIL erupted early in January after months of rising tensions.

While opposition fighters initially welcomed foreign jihadists to the battle, ISIL has been accused of a string of abuses against civilians and rival rebel groups.

Among the abuses that sparked the fierce clashes was the kidnap, torture and execution by the group of a doctor from a powerful Islamist rebel brigade, AFP said.

The all-out fight has seen ISIL lose territory in Idlib and Aleppo provinces, but it has consolidated its hold over Raqa city, the only provincial capital to fall from regime control.
