ISIS is undoubtedly the story of the year, in my opinion. Taking a look back, I wonder, where are these ISIS newsmakers now?


"Jihadi John"


ISIS military superstar Abu Wahib

The American Canadian ISIS Fighter in Flames of War Video showing killings of Syrian soldiers from Division 93 in Raqqa.


Omar al-Shishani, Chechen ISIS military commander in Syria


Journalist and ISIS hostage John Cantlie. Dead or alive?

Last but not least, whatever happened to the photogenic Chilean ISIS tour guide Abu Safiya from the "Breaking Borders" video?

We've spent billions of dollars and as far as I can tell, we haven't killed, captured or saved a single one of these guys.

    I prefer unibrow.

    "I regret," said one civilian from Deir al-Zour, a web designer and English literature graduate with a narrow, angular face and an intense gaze. "The best people in my country, they have been killed in this revolution. The worst people have controlled the country. And the goal of our revolution is not accomplished."
