«Breaking News» Swedish university professor sent mercenaries to rescue one of her students trapped by ISIS in Iraq

A professor sent a team of elite mercenaries to an ISIS-held warzone to rescue one of her students after he told her he would not be able to finish his thesis on time.

Swedish chemistry professor, Charlotta Turner, assembled a crack-team of security forces to track down Firas Jumaah, who was hiding from ISIS fighters after the terror group took over his town. 

Jumaah was a PhD student at Lund University, Sweden, when he the analytical chemistry professor via text in 2014 he would not be able to finish his thesis if he did not return within a week, as he was stuck in an Iraqi town surrounded and being shelled by Islamic State forces.  

He had returned to his home town in the war-torn area after his wife told him Daesh militants had taken over the next village, then killed all the men and enslaved the women.

The student and his family had taken refuge in a disused bleach factory as ISIS fighters stormed the town. 

In a bid to help her stranded student, Prof Turner contacted the university's then head of security, Per Gustafson, who hired a company to arrange the rescue mission. 

A few days later two Landcruisers carrying four heavily-armed mercenaries arrived in the area where Jumaah was hiding and evacuated him from town, along with his wife and two children.

The family were rushed to the safety of Erbil Airport and taken to Sweden, but his mother and sisters had to remain in Iraq.

Prof Turner told Lund's University Magazine (LUM): 'What was happening was completely unacceptable. 

'I got so angry that IS was pushing itself into our world, exposing my doctoral student and his family to this, and disrupting the research.' 

Jumaah said he had no idea his teacher would send rescuers when he told her he would not be able to finish his thesis on time.

He told LUM: 'I had no hope then at all. I was desperate. I just wanted to tell my supervisor what was happening. I had no idea that a professor would be able to do anything for us.

After getting out of Iraq, Jumaah was able to finish his PhD in chemistry and now works for a pharmaceuticals company in Malmo

'My wife was totally panicking. Everyone was shocked at how IS were behaving. I took the first plane there to be with them. What sort of life would I have if anything had happened to them there?

'I have never felt so privileged, so VIP. But at the same time I felt like a coward as I left my mother and sisters behind me.'

The rest of Jumaah's family managed to survive ISIS occupation and he has now completed his PhD in Sweden, taking up a job in a pharmaceuticals company in Malmo.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
