1. The improvised prison near Hasakah is an awful place, allegedly 5,000 ISIS members from more than 30 nations are held here after being captured during Baghuz battle.
Went into the hospital part where I saw Kader Topcu from Hamburg. m.bild.de/bild-plus/poli…

2. He told me that he left during the battle for Baghuz around 15/16 of March.
His memory is wrong, I was there also back then and he got out during the night of 09/10 of March.

3. Topcu left for Syria six years ago together with friends from Hamburg, among them Matthew B. and Bilal Z.
„They are all dead now“, he told me.
But one member of his Hamburg group is still alive.

4. Topcu‘s friend Zulhajrat Seadini was also in the Hamburg Hijra group six years ago. In late 2016, Seadini was arrested in Turkey after he underwent a hair transplant, an attempt to change his looks.
5. Seadini together with Adnan Sutkovic from Bremen was part of a hit team, the first of three teams sent for an attack in Germany by ExOps commander Thomas-Marcel Christen. More info on this here:
6. Topcu told me he also knew ExOps commander TMC. „We would sit together in Raqqa, drink tea, speak about new cellphones, personal stuff.“ He denied to have knowledge about TMC‘s work or position, which I find hard to believe.
7. Topcu also said that TMC was sitting there often together with Abu Qatada. He means Christian Emde, the late head of ISIS al-Hayat video department. More about him here:
8. Emde‘s Hayat media glorified the Paris and Brussels attacks in several videos. TMC had trained the attackers, so he probably also discussed the video output about his most successful OP with Emde.
9. Topcu says he expects to die soon: „I was at 120kg when I arrived, now it’s maybe 75.“ His injured leg from Baghuz still hurts, he suffers from several infections, coughing, breathing problems.
He said he was stupid, made a mistake and hopes that German gov sends medical aid.
