Over 4,500 Daesh detainees brought to Iraq from Syria: official

BAGHDAD: More than 4,500 suspected jihadists have been transferred from Syria to Iraq as part of a US operation to relocate Daesh group detainees, an Iraqi official told AFP on Tuesday. The detainees are among around 7,000 suspects the US military began transferring last month after Syrian government forces captured Kurdish-held territory where they had been held by Kurdish fighters. They include Syrians, Iraqis and Europeans, among other nationalities.
