Extremist groups that seized power in Damascus with the backing of Ankara and Washington have been clashing with Kurdish militias who control dozens of prisons holding thousands of ISIS fighters
US counterterrorism officials are warning that Turkiye's continued support for the Syrian National Army's (SNA) offensive against Washington's Kurdish proxies in northern Syria threatens to provoke a “massive jailbreak” of thousands of ISIS fighters.
“I usually hate this cliche, but this is the closest thing we have to a ticking time bomb,” an unnamed US official told POLITICO. “If [Turkiye] doesn’t get these attacks on the [Syrian Democratic Forces] halted, we could have a massive jailbreak on our hands.”
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have helped Washington retain control of Syria's oil and wheat-rich regions in the northeast since 2015 after wrestling control away from ISIS. The Kurdish militia also controls dozens of makeshift prison camps that hold tens of thousands of ISIS members..
“This is essentially a terrorist army in detention,” Joseph Votel, a retired US general who led Central Command (CENTCOM) from 2016 to 2019, told the DC-based outlet. “I am very concerned,”
The SNA – a Turkish proxy militia comprised of former fighters from the Free Syrian Army (FSA), Al-Qaeda, and ISIS – has been launching heavy attacks against SDF positions in northern Syria over the past two weeks following the collapse of the Syrian government.
Approximately 10,000 battle-hardened ISIS fighters are detained by the SDF in northeastern Syria...
