"They said they were fighting for Islam and justice," Suleiman tells us. "They were lying to us. They took advantage of our minds and our poverty."
"I was shot in the stomach three times," he says. He also has ugly scars on his right arm from another bullet wound. He claims ISIS drugged fighters before they went into battle.
"They gave us drugs," Kareem says. "Hallucinogenic pills that would make you go to battle not caring if you live or die."
