The ISIS have promised to keep the nurses safe and they are safe. The women were also told in early days that if you go on your own the govt forces may kill you and blame it on ISIS. Thus stay back we will send you safely once the situation is right. The embassy or the Indian FA Ministry had no role to that effect or any negotiations. The nurses were not captive they were protected. On their way to the Erbil international airport on Friday night, the 46 nurses who were released by their captors on Friday were a happy lot. They did not have any ill-feelings towards their captors, and thanked them profusely for giving them food even while they themselves were on fast. Ms. Mareena explained why the militants moved them out of the hospital against their will. “They never wanted to hurt us. For the last 2 to 3 days, they kept asking us to move out of the basement…but we were scared so we kept saying no. On Thursday, they just forced us out of the hospital building against our will. “Later we got to know that they wanted to blow the hospital up and had planted a bomb in the basement. They did not want any of us getting hurt and so they forcibly removed us from the building,” said Ms.Mareena. “They treated us well. Even though they were all fasting, they ensured we did not go hungry,” she said. thehindu/news/national/militants-treated-us-well-provided-food-says-a-nurse-from-kerala/article6178313.ece
