WASHINGTON - The United States expects Turkey to take responsibility of captive Islamic State fighters, a senior State Department official said on Monday, if Ankara's planned incursion into northeast Syria seizes areas where the detained militants are held.The official said as of now, U.S. allied Kurdish militia was still going to be in control of the detention facilities. "If they (Turks) come into an area with obvious prisons and the SDF withdraws from those security positions around those prisons, we expect the Turks to take them over," he said in a briefing.
