The US Central Command has successfully captured Khaled Ahmed al-Dandal, an ISIS leader who assisted escapees of the terror group in Syria. Al-Dandal was apprehended early Sunday morning with the help of the Syrian Democratic Forces. He had been aiding ISIS fighters who had fled detention facilities in Syria, including some who recently escaped from the Raqqa detention facility.
Following the recent escape of five ISIS detainees from the Raqqa facility, the Syrian Democratic Forces managed to recapture two of them, while three remain at large. Currently, more than 9,000 ISIS detainees are held in over 20 detention facilities in Syria, posing a significant security challenge as the group attempts to free its members.
