Woman Confesses to Working with Terrorist Groups and Interrogating Abducted Women Aug 20, 2012

DAMASCUS, (SANA) – Terrorist Sabah Othman confessed to working with armed terrorist groups in Douma, Damascus Countryside, and being an accomplice to the abduction, torture and murder of women, with her acting as an interrogator. In confessions broadcast by the Syrian TV, 22 year-old Othman said that she is originally from Douma and that she was married at the age of 14 and separated from her husband three years later. She met a man named Ala'a Mahfoud from Harasta on the pretext that he wanted to marry her, and he introduced her to two militants from a group referring to itself as Loua'a al-Islam who in turn introduced her to the group's leader Zahran Alloush who employed her as an interrogator of the women they abducted. Othman said that she was told to beat up any abducted woman that doesn't answer questions and that another woman assisted her in this work, and after they finish the interrogation the militants would take the women to an unknown location and murder them. She said that the militants would slit the throats of the abducted women and dump their bodies near a slaughterhouse, elaborating that the first woman she interrogated was Samira Assaf, a mother of four, who was slaughtered and dumped near a slaughterhouse where her body was eaten by stray dogs, noting that the terrorists recorded this incident on video. Othman went on to say that the second woman she interrogated was called Dunya Omar, and that she was shot in the head and her body was dumped near a sewer in al-Shifouniye area, while the third woman she interrogated was called Fadya Daher from Deir Ezzor, and this woman was offered by the terrorists to their leader Alloush and was raped and tortured by electricity before being murdered. She said that the members of Loua'a al-Islam she had dealings with would pretend to be religious in front of people while in fact they used drugs and abducted women without showing any sign of remorse. Othman concluded by warning other women from associating with terrorists because they're likely to kill them like the other women they abduct after they've outlived their usefulness in order to cover up their crimes.
