"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Syria conflict: IS 'withdraws' from ancient Palmyra- BBC News

Islamic State militants have been pushed back from the ancient Syrian site of Palmyra, officials and a monitoring group say.
 
Militants seized part of the town of Tadmur on Saturday, which is located on a strategic east-west route next to Palmyra's World Heritage-listed ruins.
 
Nearly 300 have reportedly died in four days of fighting.
 
Meanwhile, the number of militants reported killed in a rare US ground raid in Syria on Saturday rose to 32.
 
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, said that among those killed were "IS oil chief Abu Sayyaf, the deputy IS defence minister, and an IS communications official".
