Iraq took in about 6,000 male ISIS members over the past month as US Central Command transferred them from Syria to Iraq.
The ISIS members come from as many as 60 countries. According to a list that has been widely circulated online, but which Iraqi authorities have said is not final or accurate, there may be 130 Russians among the ISIS members.
When ISIS was on the rise in 2014, many reports said some people from Russia's Chechnya region had joined ISIS. The Chechens were known to be good fighters and particularly good snipers.

Are French courts unwilling to call out antisemitism?
The ruling of a French appeals court that the poisoning of a Jewish family by their Algerian nanny was not an act of antisemitism has shed light on what may be a wider phenomenon of the French legal system: not recognizing Jew-hatred as an aggravating factor.
