Kochi, July 05, 2014
The Indian nurses, who were abducted by the Sunni insurgent group the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), have only good things to say about the "bearded boys" after a three-week-long captivity.
The 46 nurses, who were working at a hospital in Iraq's former ruler Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit, were abducted by the ISIS rebels last month.
...
Some of them said they don't feel like calling them abductors because they actually protected them in the strife-torn country.
"Our apprehension really forced us to hate them. But later we found in such a lawless situation they were protecting us. At their mercy, they could have done anything to us but they never misbehaved or taunted any of us," said NS Shruti, one of the freed nurses who belongs to the outskirts of port city of Kochi.
...
"We don't have any ill will against the rebels. But the intensity and ferocity of the war really scared us. We never thought we would be back alive," said Marina Jose.
