Syrian opposition fighters assigned to guard thousands of ISIS captives are rushing to the border ahead of an expected attack by Turkish forces, a top Kurdish general told NBC News Monday.
General Mazloum Kobani Abdi, commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces, said watching over the ISIS prisoners locked up in Syria is a “second priority” now that the U.S. has cleared the way for a Turkish assault likely targeting the mostly Kurdish forces along the border.
“This is a very big problem,” Mazloum told NBC News. “Nobody has helped in this regard.”
