Media: US transported ten IS* fighters from illegal base in Syria

The US troops have transported ten Islamic State terrorist militants* from their illegal base in the Syrian province of Al-Haseke to the desert in the province of Deir ez-Zor, Syrian state agency SANA reports, citing sources.

According to sources, the terrorists were taken out in two helicopters.

Earlier in January, it was reported that the US military had transported 70 IS* fighters from prison to their base.

The US army and the Arab-Kurdish militias of the “Syrian Democratic Forces” illegally control territories in the north and northeast of Syria in the provinces of Deir ez-Zor, Al-Haseke and Raqqa, where the largest oil and gas fields in Syria are located.

Official Damascus has repeatedly called the presence of the American military on its territory occupation and state piracy with the aim of outright theft of oil.
