Meet The Man Smuggling Prospective ISIS Recruits Across The Turkey-Syria Border
Mohammed Abu Mustafa spends most of his days puffing sweet-smelling tobacco smoke out of a traditional hookah, or waterpipe, in his small café in the Turkish border town of Akçakale.
Sitting at one of the worn-down tables messily assembled outside, Abu Mustafa fixes his eyes on the nearby six-foot-tall chain link fence separating Turkey and Syria. On the other side of this fence is Tel Abyad, a Syrian border town controlled by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. The militant group’s ominous black flag flies high on the Syrian side, easily visible to the residents of Akçakale.
