Canadian Muslim who was held ‘in captivity by the Taliban’ arrested on sexual assault and forcible confinement

A Muslim who was held captive by the Taliban for five years has been arrested in Canada.

Joshua Boyle, 34, faces 15 charges including sexual assault, illegal confinement and issuing death threats, according to reports.

Boyle, his American Muslim wife Caitlan Coleman and their three children, who were all born in captivity, were freed last October.

The couple REFUSED to board a US military plane in Pakistan following the dramatic rescue. Boyle feared arrest over his first marriage to Muslima terrorist Zaynab Khadr, whose father was a close friend of Osama Bin Laden.

The identity of his victim was being withheld by a court, according to Boyle’s lawyer.

“We look forward to receiving the evidence and defending him against these charges,” he said, adding Boyle would appear before a court in Ottawa on Wednesday.

Boyle is facing eight counts of assault, two counts of sexual assault and two counts of unlawful confinement, according to news channel CTV.

He is also accused of misleading police to “divert suspicion from himself,” uttering a death threat and administering a noxious substance, Trazodone.

Upon his arrival in Toronto two days later, Boyle accused his captors of raping his wife and killing his baby daughter, a fourth child.

Both allegations swiftly refuted by the Taliban’s spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid who admitted a baby had died – but said it was a result of a natural miscarriage.

A month later Coleman also spoke of a sexual “assault” by two of her captors in an interview with ABC news.

France’s most wanted female Muslim terrorist arrested by Kurdish forces in Syria

France’s most wanted female Muslim terrorist has been arrested by Kurdish forces in Syria and is currently being held in a refugee camp on the Turkey-Syria border, the French radio station RMC reported.

The daughter of a gendarme from the northern French town of Brittany, Émilie König, 33, fled to Syria to join ISIS in 2012, and quickly became the terrorist group’s most prominent female voice.

A hardline Salafist who converted to Islam at the age of 17 and changed her name to Samra, she was once quoted as saying that the niqab was like a “second skin”.

A top ISIS recruiter and propagandist, she appeared in several propaganda videos in which she called for armed jihad, and has also encouraged friends and family members to launch terror attacks on French soil.

In September 2015, she became the first woman to be listed on the United States’ foreign terrorist ‘blacklist’. She has also been blacklisted by the UN.

She was arrested in Chaddade, a town in the north-eastern Syrian province of Hasaka, in December.

The French interior ministry refused to comment, but her arrest has since been confirmed by Khaled Issa, the Kurdish Syrian representative in France.

 

Israel retaliates after 3 rocket attacks from Gaza

Three rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip at the Eshkol Regional Council on Wednesday afternoon within less than two hours of one another, with all of them landing in open space. No injuries or damage were reported.

The first rocket fell close to the Gaza border fence at around 2pm inside Israeli territory. Approximately one-and-a-half hours later, the IDF identified yet another rocket landing in the same region.

Israeli Air Force fighter jets on Wednesday night attacked a central terrorist infrastructure in Gaza.

“In response to the three rockets fired at southern Israeli communities throughout yesterday from Gaza, IAF fighter jets targeted a significant terror infrastructure in the Gaza Strip”, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said in a statement.

“The IDF will continue to use all means to thwart attempts to attack the citizens of Israel. The IDF will not allow any breach of Israeli sovereignty or any hostile attempts by terror organizations such as Hamas and remains prepared for a wide variety of scenarios”.
