Iraq Receives 4,583 ISIS Fighters Transferred from Syria
ARK News.. Iraq has so far taken custody of 4,583 ISIS members detained in Syria, as the U.S. military began transferring them last month.
According to France Press Agency, Saad Ma’an, head of Iraq’s Security Media Cell, stated that these individuals are among up to 7,000 detainees of the group.
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced last month the start of their transfer from Syria to Iraq, in a move aimed at ensuring the militants remain in secure detention facilities.
Ma’an previously confirmed that the transfers are being conducted by land and air in coordination with the U.S.-led international coalition, which has been combating ISIS since 2014.
