Story by Alex Arger
U.S. forces in Syria captured an ISIS leader who U.S. Central Command said helped members of the terror group escape from a detention facility in Syria.
CENTCOM and Syrian Democratic Forces worked jointly to capture Khaled Ahmed al-Dandal early Sunday morning, three days after five ISIS foreign fighters fled the Raqqah Detention Facility.
Al-Dandal is believed to have been the "ISIS facilitator" aiding the efforts of the two Russians, two Afghans and one Libyan who escaped detention on Aug. 29.
CENTCOM said Russian Imam Abdulwahed Akhwan and Libyan Muhammad Noh Muhammad have since been recaptured, but the three other escapees remain at large. This includes the two Afghan fighters, Shuab Muhammad Al-Abdli and Atal Khaled Zar, and the other Russian, Timor Talbrken Abdash, CENTOM said in a release.
