Iraq War

The first Islamic State foreign terrorist has already been repatriated from Turkey, according to a spokesman for the country's interior ministry, quoted by private NTV television. On November 14, the same procedure will be applied to seven other terrorists of German descent, the spokesman added. The already repatriated jihadist is from the United States. 

Turkey said on Monday it had deported two captives from Islamic State - a German and an American - beginning a program to repatriate detainees that has caused friction with its NATO allies since it launched an offensive in northern Syria.

Turkey on Nov. 11 started a program of repatriation of foreign ISIL fighters, with a U.S. citizen deported in the early morning and a German and a Denmark national were to be deported on the same day, Interior Ministry spokesman İsmail Çataklı told Anadolu Agency.

Less than 1,000 U.S. service members will remain in northern Syria to ensure the lasting defeat of the ISIL terror group, U.S. Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley said in remarks aired on Nov. 10.

Turkey will start extraditing captured ISIL terrorists on Nov. 11 to their home countries, according to Turkey's interior minister.

A Dutch F-16 jet serving with the US-led coalition in Iraq killed about 70 people - Islamic State (IS) militants and civilians - in an air strike in 2015, the Dutch defence ministry says.

Turkey is an "active member" in efforts to secure the lasting defeat of the ISIL terrorist organization, the U.S. State Department said in a report issued on Nov.1.

A total of 100 ISIL terrorists were detained across the nation on Oct. 29 while the nation marked the Republic Day, the Turkish police chief said on Oct. 30.

Turkish security forces have carried out a total of 4,536 operations against the terrorist organization ISIL since 2016, arresting 13,696 suspects, with 4,517 of them sent to custody, according to the data compiled by Anadolu Agency.

Forty-three people were detained or arrested across Turkey on Oct. 29 for their suspected links to the terrorist organization ISIL, also known as Daesh, security sources said.
