AL-HOL CAMP, Syria - Iraqi farmer Shaker Salih says he feared Islamic State, but feared its defeat even more. His problem is persuading people to believe that he did not support the jihadists.

He now lives in the sprawling, guarded al-Hol displacement camp across the border in Syria, where among 70,000 fellow Iraqis, Syrians and others, there are thousands of die-hard IS supporters. The difficulty of distinguishing those groups, sometimes from the same clans and communities now in al-Hol, means that many like Salih face long-term detention under plans the government is weighing up.

Aid agencies have said they will not provide support for a new internment camp or detention zone, according to several aid workers, due to the risk of rights violations. They are seeking instead to put people who pass security screening into existing displacement camps, according to a plan seen by Reuters.

Many other residents in the camp, which is controlled by U.S.-backed Syrian Kurdish forces, say they did not back Islamic State but survived its brutal rule by keeping a low profile. “What they are now thinking of creating is more permanent. It means they foresee holding people there for longer,” said Belkis Wille, a senior HRW researcher.

“We will respect human rights but ... there need to be careful security measures so cannot leak back into society.”

Salmonella alert: Backyard chickens have caused 21-state outbreak, CDC saysSalmonella-linked to backyard poultry has sickened 52 people in 21 states, the CDC has announced. Really? Seems a bit of stretch. Thank You! Enough with the chickens people. They stink and they’re loud (and there’s the salmonella thingy too). I’m sure the health standards at the Tyson chicken farms in rural Arkansas are far superior. People raised food for centuries but now it’s dangerous. 🤦‍♂️
