Chaos in Syria sparks fears of ISIS prison breaks as US rushes detainees to Iraq

Chaos in Syria has intensified concerns over the security of ISIS detainees after Syrian authorities took control from Kurdish forces, leading to the escape of at least 120 ISIS fighters from al-Shaddadi prison. The United States responded by relocating detainees to Iraq, with plans to transfer thousands more amid fears of further prison breaks. Kurdish forces have also withdrawn from overseeing the al-Hol camp, which houses thousands of ISIS-linked women and children, citing a lack of international support. A fragile ceasefire has been reached between Kurdish and Syrian government forces, but uncertainty remains as the United States considers withdrawing its remaining troops from Syria, raising questions about the future containment of ISIS.
