Ten trucks transported Iraqi and foreign ISIS fighters and their families to Iraq on Thursday as part of a prisoner handover by US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces to the Iraqi army, a local mayor said.
"The majority of them are Iraqis and the convoy was under maximum security protection headed to the Jazeera and Badiya military headquarters," said Ahmed al-Mahallawi, mayor of the Iraqi border town of al-Qaim.
Both military bases are located in Anbar province.
