Yazidi slave reveals - Top ISIS commander is an American, boasts he returns to USA regularly

Officials have not yet identified exactly who he is.

One of the top ISIS commanders is an American, according to a former Yazidi slave who escaped captivity. A 19-year-old woman who was captured in August 2014, says she was owned by an American citizen who boasted that he regularly visits the US.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - A 19-year-old Yazidi woman, named Nada, claims she was owned by an American who was also a high-ranking ISIS commander. That man has not yet been identified by authorities, but according to Nada and others, he is a 23-year-old American who speaks poor Arabic, but is responsible for military operations. His name is Abu Abdullah al-Amriki.

Nada was held as a slave by Abdullah in the capitol of the Islamic State, Raqqa. She explained to authorities that she was purchased at a slave market along with eight other women and a small boy. Seven of those women were subsequently re-sold, leaving Nada with another woman, she called Bazi.

Nada told authorities that Abdullah would wash himself before raping Bazi and that Bazi managed to convince him to refrain from raping Nada too, and to use her each time.

Abdullah often boasted about himself to the women, telling them how he still traveled to the United States to visit family. Nada said that his Arabic was broken, but despite the impediment, he appeared to occupy a high place in the Islamic State hierarchy.

Letters were often delivered by masked couriers from al-Baghdadi, and lesser commanders, always in combat fatigues, would visit. Abdullah would provide maps and instructions to the visitors, coaching them how to stage an ambush.

Nada and Bazi, along with a  young slave boy, managed to escape Abdullah's clutches when he departed to join fighting, possibly around the contested town of Kobani. Nada managed to steal his cellphone and the trio of slave fugitives made their way north until they were intercepted by Kurdish police. Nada said she was taken to a refugee camp and later interviewed by American authorities. The cell phone was also handed over.

Nada said she was shown several pictures of Americans thought to be fighting for ISIS, but none of the pictures showed Abdullah. Many of the fighters for the Islamic State come from overseas. They tend to congregate in neighborhoods, creating areas referred to as "Little London" or "Little Berlin."

Allegedly, thousands of women and fighters attempt to join the Islamic State by sneaking past authorities and into the country. Unfortunately, many of the women will be used as wives, and this does not mean their husbands will be kind, faithful, or even long-lived. Men who arrive are expected to fight, and are brutally murdered if they attempt to flee.

Drug abuse is common among the fighters, and even encouraged as a way to embolden fighters before battle. It explains why Islamic State combatants are often described as fanatical in their tactics.

Nada is one of the few slaves who has managed to escape captivity. Sexual abuse, torture and even murder are commonly reported by these survivors. It is unknown how many souls remain in captivity in the Islamic State.
