Send Captured ISIS Fighters to Home Countries, Not Gitmo: Mattis

Military.com 13 Feb 2018 By Richard Sisk

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Tuesday that allied countries of origin should take custody of ISIS foreign fighters captured in Syria rather than sending them to Guantanamo Bay, as proposed under a new policy announced by President Donald Trump.

"Doing nothing is not an option," Mattis said following a conference of defense ministers in Rome on the issue that has taken on urgency with the capture of thousands of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) fighter suspects by the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
