Iraqi and Syrian officials say Baghdad has repatriated hundreds more of its citizens linked to the Islamic State group from a sprawling camp in northeastern Syria
Iraq has repatriated hundreds more of its citizens linked to the Islamic State group from a sprawling camp in northeastern Syria, Iraqi and Syrian officials said Monday.
Tens of thousands of people linked to the group were taken to al-Hol camp close to the Iraqi border. The heavily guarded camp, overseen by the U.S.-backed and Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, was once home to 73,000 people. Sheikhmous Ahmad, a Kurdish official overseeing camps for displaced in northeastern Syria, said 187 families consisting of 697 Iraqis were repatriated Sunday. He said it was the 15th group to return home.
