By searching for FBI, the remains of 30 people who have been killed by ISIS in Syria are uncovered by the search for FBI

The remains of 30 people, which were assumed that they were killed by the militant Islamic state group, were found in a remote Syrian city in a search by Qatar -Search teams and the FBI, according to Katar on Monday.

The Qatarian internal security forces said the FBI had requested the search and that DNA tests are currently underway to determine the identity of the people. The Qatarian agency did not say who the American Intelligence and Security Agency was trying to find. However, the Reuters news agency quoted two sources that were informed about the mission, they were looking for the American hostages killed by ISIS.

Dozens of foreigners, including auxiliary workers and journalists, were killed by ISIS militants who had checked large parts of Syria and Iraq for half a decade and explained a so-called caliphate. The militant group lost most of its territory at the end of 2017 and was defeated in 2019.

Since then, dozens of tombessites and mass graves have been discovered in northern Syria, which had kidnapped the remains and bodies of people over the years.

American journalists James Foley And Steven Sotloffas well as humanitarian workers Kayla Mueller And Peter Kassisig are among those killed by ISIS.

Reuters announced a Syrian source that the first search focused on finding the remains of Kassisig, which was beheaded in northern Syria in 2014.

“We thank everyone who is involved in the efforts to identify these deceased persons and return to their home countries and relatives,” said the Kassisig family in a statement to Reuters.

The search took place in the city of Dabiq near the Syrian northern border to Türkiye.

In 2014 and 2015, Isis released videos of the Foey, Sotloff and Kassig. A similar video was published by two kidnapped Japanese helpers, which the extremists beheaded in a similar way.

American journalist Austin Tice, Kidnapped in a controversial area in West Syria in 2012 is one of the most famous cases of missing. He was last seen in a video for weeks and showed that he was captured by armed men. The US government in December said he was still assuming that Washington admitted at the time that it had no direct evidence of tices well.

Washington had claimed for years that Tice was held by the authorities in today's authorities in the Syria.

In an interview with “CBS -Morgen” in December, Tice's parents said that they had not seen any video evidence that he lived and they don't know where he is.

“Since the first video that came out shortly after his recording, we have not seen any more … Video evidence, but there was a confirmation of people who had an eye on him, and a lot recently,” said Marc Tice. “So we are confident that he is alive and we know that he is ready to come home.”

The United Nations estimated in 2021 that over 130,000 Syrians were removed and disappeared during the uprising that began in 2011 and began in a 13-year civil war.
