U.S. and coalition forces have successfully captured an ISIS leader in Syria for his involvement in aiding Islamic State terrorists. The leader, Khaled Ahmed al-Dandal, was apprehended by the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) after it was discovered that he had been assisting the terrorist organization in freeing detained militant fighters and reviving ISIS.
Al-Dandal, identified as an 'ISIS facilitator' by CENTCOM, was found to have helped five ISIS terrorists escape from the Raqqah Detention Facility. While two of the militants have been recaptured, three others, including individuals from Russia and Afghanistan, remain at large.
