The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in keeping with military protocol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They say the women and children will not be charged with crimes and will likely be repatriated to their home countries. Most hail from Central Asia, Russia and Turkey, but the group also includes people from as far away as Japan and South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tens of thousands of foreigners traveled to Iraq and Syria to live in the ISIS group\u2019s self-styled Islamic caliphate. The territory under their control has rapidly shrunk over the past two years as Iraqi and Syrian forces have retaken several cities and towns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe couldn\u2019t practice our religion in Azerbaijan. We couldn\u2019t wear the niqab (a veil that covers the face) because there were intelligence officers everywhere,\u201d said Feyruza, who is originally from Dagestan in Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe were told that in Iraq they had implemented Islam and we came here and it was true. We lived our lives as Muslims and we were very happy until the warplanes came and destroyed everything,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She and other women said they had been living in Tal Afar since early 2015. They said they knew nothing about the group\u2019s widely publicized atrocities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe didn\u2019t see any killings. It didn\u2019t happen. Everything was according to the Quran and the Sunna (teachings of the Prophet Muhammad). What we saw was the implementation of Islamic rule,\u201d said another woman named Aybenis, also from Azerbaijan. The women declined to give their last names out of security concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The women said they lived well up until August, when Iraqi forces launched the operation to retake the town. Their account of life under the militants is in sharp contrast to that offered by other residents of Tal Afar, who fled by the thousands in the months leading up to the operation because of severe shortages of food and other supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"845\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP17253267265791.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP17253267265791.jpg.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP17253267265791.jpg.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP17253267265791.jpg.jpg?resize=768,433 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP17253267265791.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,577 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In this Saturday, Sept. 9, 2017, image made from video, a woman and a small child lie on the floor of a tent in a camp for displaced people on the outskirts of Mosul, Iraq.

They are among hundreds of thousands of Iraqis displaced by fighting over the past year. Iraqi forces recaptured Mosul, the country\u2019s second largest city, in July following a grueling, nine-month campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The women said they didn\u2019t know the fate of their husbands, who surrendered to Kurdish forces separately. Brig. Gen. Kamel Harki, a Kurdish commander, said some of the captured fighters were handed over to Iraqi authorities while others were killed after faking their surrender and then attacking their captors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iraqi forces are holding more than 1,300 foreign women and children, the families of Islamic State fighters, at a camp for displaced
