KURDISH forces have appealed to foreign governments to take back jihadists that were detained after being captured as Isis was swept aside in northern Syria.

The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) claimed to have captured hundreds of jihadists, including those from Britain, France and the United States, however say they do not have the resources to keep them in detention.

Senior SDF official Abdel Karim Omar claimed they held "around 520 Daesh [Isis] mercenaries, as well as 550 women and around 1,200 children from 44 countries.”
