ISIS Built Their Own “Guantanamo”

Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

A former ISIS hostage has written that ISIS build their own version of “Guantanamo” to torture Western hostages near Aleppo.

They said that “Jihadi John” staged mock executions at the facility.

Javier Espinosa, a Spanish journalist, recorded his memories in the newspaper El Mundo.

Espinosa said that the prisoners called their guards “The Beatles” and that they focused on showing the prisoners what could happen to them.

“The Beatles … loved this sort of theatre. They had me sat on the floor, barefoot, with a shaven head, a thick beard and dressed in the ‘orange’ uniform’ that had made Guantanamo, the American prison, famous,” Espinosa wrote, according to Scotsman.

“Jihadi John wanted maximum drama. He had brought along an antique sword of the kind Muslim armies used in the Middle Ages. It was a blade of almost a meter in length with a silver handle,” added Espinosa, who was kidnapped on Sept. 16, 2013 and freed on March 29, 2014.

Espinosa said that executed American James Foley told him ISIS had been planning this for a long time.

“‘They had this project for a long time. The [head guard] told us at the beginning they wanted to intern Westerners in a high-security prison with cameras and lots of guards.’ ‘They told us that we would be here for a very long time, because we were the first ones they captured,'” Foley told him.
