 * ''“The stuff was already irrationality in motion,” said Mr. Moustafa. “Then a guy actually named McCain joins ISIS. It added fuel to the fire.”

 * Two of the men in the image are Mohamed Nour and Abu Ibrahim, claimed Lebanese newspaper The Daily Star. The men are described as being part of a group who kidnapped 11 Shias last year. They were identified by one of the kidnap victims, Anwar Ibrahim, who along with one other hostage has since been freed, the Star said. Negotiations over the freedom of the other nine are still ongoing. "I recognised him (Nour) immediately. He was the photographer who was brought in to take our photos [during captivity]. He works with the kidnappers. He knows them very well," Mr Ibrahim told the Star. The Star claimed it had independently confirmed the identity of Nour, who reportedly acted as the spokesman for the kidnappers.
 * Noting: none of these guys is called Abu Ibrahim in the red IDs (which I'm still skeptical of). Mr. Nour seems agreed though. --Caustic Logic (talk) 10:15, 30 August 2017 (UTC)


 * That bus hijacking was on May 22, 2012, FWIW, taken near Turkish border, maybe in the Hama panhandle (al-Ghab plain). Lebanese citizens were later released, but others (non-Sunni Syrians?) weren't so lucky. A woman and her 4 childen, and a bus driver, taken from A bus hijacked two days earlier in the al-Ghab plain (probably the same one) were found dead and mutilated near Masyaf on May 24, way south of the hijacking spot, deeper inside Syria. Nearby is Aqrab and Houla, where hundreds of foreign militants took part in the big massacre in Taldou on May 25. Those probably came in via Turkey, maybe arriving on a stolen bus. (explained here). So ISIS or not, that might be fairly close to McCain meeting with the "Shabiha" responsible for the Houla Massacre. --Caustic Logic (talk) 10:15, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
