The threat of ISIS fighters breaking out of the massive prison camps where they’re being held in Syria and Iraq is growing, according to a new report and a senior U.S. official.
While President Donald Trump has also warned of the urgency, he took the issue a step further in recent days and threatened to free ISIS fighters at Europe’s borders if countries don’t repatriate them.
U.S. ambassador-at-large for counterterrorism Nathan Sales rang those alarm bells Tuesday, but wouldn’t say whether the U.S. was actively planning to carry out Trump’s threat.
