Chaos in Syria sparks fears of ISIS prison breaks as US rushes detainees to Iraq
Fox News
ISIS detainees escape Syrian prison as U.S. military rushes to relocate 7,000 prisoners amid security chaos following President al-Sharaa's order for Kurdish forces to disband.
The operation comes as Syria’s new government, led by President Ahmed al-Sharaa, ordered the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) — Washington’s longtime partner in the fight against ISIS — to disband following a rapid offensive over the weekend that severely weakened the group.
Syrian government forces have since assumed control of several detention facilities previously guarded by the SDF. At least 120 ISIS detainees escaped during a breakout at the al-Shaddadi prison in Hasakah this week, according to Syrian authorities, who say many have been recaptured. U.S. and regional officials caution that some escapees remain at large.
