The U.S. military's transfer of ISIS detainees from Syria to Iraq has experienced a slowdown this week, according to sources familiar with the situation. This follows a period where transfers were conducted at a more rapid pace.
Sources indicate that Iraq has requested additional time to prepare its facilities for the incoming detainees. Additionally, discussions are needed with other nations regarding the repatriation of their citizens currently held in custody.
This development occurs amid ongoing international efforts to manage the situation of thousands of detainees linked to ISIS, who are currently held in northern and eastern regions of Syria.
