Soldiers who promised to be martyrs for the Caliphate are surrendering “en masse,” according to Kurdish forces. ISIS fighters, they say, have been turning themselves in by the hundreds after realizing they won’t be fed or paid for their contribution to the cause.
“More than a thousand” Islamic State fighters have already passed through processing, The New York Times reports, and Kurdish authorities expect hundreds more, if their intelligence – gathered through interviews with those who have deserted their ISIS cohorts – proves correct.
