ISIS Leader Captured by US After Escaping Syrian Detention Facility

Tampa, Florida, September 3:
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said that they have detained an ISIS leader who aided the terrorist group's members following their escape from a Syrian prison center. According to an official release, US soldiers cooperating with Syrian Democratic soldiers (SDF) were able to apprehend Khaled Ahmed al-Danda, a leader of ISIS who had escaped from a detention facility in Raqqah, Syria, after being classified as aiding ISIS militants.

According to US Central Command Commander Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla, there are at than 9,000 ISIS prisoners held in more than 20 SDF prisons in Syria, constituting a "ISIS Army" in imprisonment.

The area and the world would be in grave danger, according to Gen. Kurilla, if many of these ISIS militants were to flee. "We will continue to work with the international community to repatriate these ISIS fighters to their countries of origin for final adjudication," added the president.

Two Russians, two Afghans, and one Libyan were among the five ISIS Foreign Terrorist Fighters who escaped from the Raqqah Detention Facility on August 29.

Two fugitives were apprehended by the SDF: Muhammad Noh Muhammad (Libyan) and Imam Abdulwahed Akhwan (Russian).

According to US CENTCOM, three individuals are still on the run: Timor Talbrken Abdash, a Russian, and Shuab Muhammad Al-Abdli and Atal Khaled Zar, two Afghans.

According to a statement dated September 2, US Central Command forces were also successful in destroying two missile systems in an area of Yemen controlled by the Houthis.

The statement continued by saying that these measures were taken to safeguard international waters and ensure the safety of US, coalition, and merchant vessels, as well as to protect the freedom of navigation in the region. It was determined that these systems posed an immediate threat to these groups.

The most recent attacks on ships off the Yemeni coast were denounced as well. The MV Blue Lagoon, flying the flag of Panama, and the MV Amjad, owned by Saudi Arabia, were targeted by the Houthis, who allegedly used a drone and two ballistic missiles.

According to US CENTCOM, both ships were carrying tons of crude oil. The MV Amjad had nearly twice as much oil as the Greek-owned MV Delta Sounion, which was assaulted by the Houthis on August 21. The MV Delta Sounion had about one million barrels of oil.

Salvage operations are currently taking place in the Southern Red Sea in an attempt to save the environment from the sinking, still-burning MV Delta Sounion. The US Central Command has stated that the Houthis' careless terrorist actions put civilian seafarers' lives and marine ecosystems at danger, and destabilize regional and global commerce.
