A Kurdish official claimed that 25 Kurdish Peshmerga prisoners escaped from an Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS) prison in Mosul.

 

“After the people of Mosul realized that several captives fled ISIS, they welcomed them, guiding them to escape Mosul in order for them to return to their homes outside ISIS territories, but unfortunately, some of the escapees were recaptured,” declared Ismat Rajab, the head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party in Mosul.

 

The prison is located in Khalisiya. ISIS announced the breakout on social media accounts. The militants then “launched a campaign inside Mosul looking for the escapees.” They found a few, but others remained in civilian homes.

 

“When the people realized these hostages escaped an ISIS jail, they—both Kurds and Arabs in the nearby areas—showed their willingness to harbor them from ISIS,” continued Rajab.
