Anti-Islamic State coalition at odds on jihadi detainees

Written by:

Foreign ministers from the global coalition against Islamic State convened in Washington to discuss the next step against the jihadi group after Turkey’s Oct. 9 incursion into northeast Turkey and the U.S. decision to reduce its presence there.

While Islamic State has lost nearly all its territory in Syria and U.S. forces killed its former leader last month, it is still seen as a global threat.

Dealing with some 10,000 Islamic State fighters detained in northeast Syria, as well as their families, is among the coalition’s top concerns.
