Syria: Hundreds of ISIS Fighters Surrender to Kurdish Forces

HeadlineMar 07, 2019

In Syria, Kurdish-led forces backed by the United States say they captured 400 ISIS fighters Wednesday who were fleeing the group’s last stronghold in eastern Syria. Their reported capture came as 2,000 civilians fled the town of Baghouz, near the Iraqi border. Meanwhile, President Trump has reversed his promise—made in a tweet last December—to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria. In a handwritten response to a February 22 letter from senators requesting the U.S. keep a contingent of hundreds of troops in Syria, Trump wrote, “I agree 100%.”
