An American ISIS suspect has been deported to the US by plane as part of Turkey's push to repatriate alleged foreign fighters to their home countries, Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said Friday.
The man was initially sent to Greece on Monday, upon his request, according to Turkey's Interior Ministry. But Greece refused to accept him, and he was left stranded for several days in a"buffer zone" between the countries."Upon the commitment of the USA to issue a travel document, necessary procedures have been initiated to send the foreign terrorist fighter to the USA," the ministry said Thursday.
The UK Home Office told CNN it would not comment on individual cases.Turkey announced last week that it would begin sending ISIS militants home, something that it has long pushed for, even for those fighters stripped of their citizenship.Ankara has repeatedly criticized European nations for refusing to take back their own nationals, with Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu saying that Turkey was not a"guest house or hotel" for ISIS members to stay in indefinitely.
