ISIS Captives Say They Faced Blade as Rescue Came - The New York Times

ISIS Captives Say They Faced Blade as Rescue Came - The New York Times: "As the interview came to an end, Mr. Jibouri asked if he could send a message to an American audience: He said he was grateful to the United States and to Joshua L. Wheeler, the Army Delta Force master sergeant who was killed in the rescue. “May God keep him in heaven,” he said.



 But the freedom Mr. Jibouri now enjoys is shrouded with sadness that his family remains in Hawija, which is firmly in the grip of the Islamic State, which is also known by the Arabic pejorative Daesh."
