9:41 pm
that's how i managed to escape while everyone else was asleep. and i was able to just be today is free but all the others he met at the camp or dead. for the past 2 years he's been living with his uncle the same uncle who sold him to the i.r.s. . but by now he's forgiven him. and i mean this is where we live i mean. this is our kitchen. and this is a corner. but there she had been. had not only sold his nephew to the terrorists but even his own son. one day these well dressed men showed up and offered me money before i agreed to let the boys study abroad so i did but i never suspected that they were from the oh

9:45 pm
friends. if i didn't know them i would try to make friends with them and gain their trust. then i would tell them about our organization and explain to them that we were fighting for islam. and for muslims rights. in total i recruited about 30 fighters. at 1st i offered them 175 euros. but then after the siege began i offered them $400.00 euros and. i really thought i was doing the right thing. now i regret what i did but then having. i have brought shame to my family event on this iran but then adding gummi. on the whole i don't want to go to jail so i'm still so young.
