US wants foreign fighters in Syria to face justice at home

The United States has urged allied nations to help deal with the growing number of foreign fighters being held by the Syrian Democratic Forces in Syria.

The US Principal Deputy Assistant Defense Secretary for International Security Affairs, Kathryn Wheelbarger, said we are working with the coalition and expect these detainees to return to their country of origin to face justice.

The Syrian Democratic Forces are currently holding thousands of IS detainees, including hundreds of foreign fighters from a number of nations.APP
