Instead of Jihadi, Was Used as Labour, Alleged IS Fighter Areeb Majeed Says
Areeb Majeed, the 23-year-old from Mumbai who travelled to Iraq to join the Islamic State group, was not allowed to fight in war zones, he has told interrogators. Instead, Majeed has reportedly revealed that he and the other three men from Kalyan who left their homes in the Eastern suburb of Mumbai, were assigned to labour jobs that left them disappointed. In addition to cleaning toilets, Majeed has said, he was made to work at construction sites since he was studying civil engineering in India. The other three men in his group were used as a car mechanic, at the electronics department and as an accountant.
