John McCain Cuddles Up to Syrian Kidnappers
When Sen. John McCain went to Syria to meet with Syrian “rebel” commanders and call for sending them US arms, he snuck over the border with Turkey to the town of Azaz – the headquarters of the “Northern Storm Brigade,” and the site of a 2012 kidnapping by Syrian rebels of 11 Shi’ite pilgrims returning from a visit to a religious shrine. Never one to shy away from the camera, the Senator posed with rebel fighters in front of their headquarters, smiling as gun-toting jihadists smiled back. Did he know whom he was posing for pictures with? More importantly – did he even care?

McCain crossed illegally into Syria in 2013 at Bab al-Salam, which was controlled by the Free Syrian Army. There, at their Azaz headquarters, McCain met with Abu Ibrahim, the man who placed people into a pit and where he ran the region by Islamic Law. McCain also met with Muhammed Nur, chief press spokesman for the brigade (Nur later became the Islamic State’s press agent).
