US-backed Kurdish militants in Syria help Daesh elements flee to Turkey: Report
Tehran (KNA) - The US-backed Kurdish militants in Syria have reportedly been helping the remaining Daesh terrorists -- who are now holed up in an eastern village -- to escape their last hideout and reach the Turkish border in exchange for "hefty bribes."
The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported Thursday that some 120 militants of the US-sponsored Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have formed a "smuggling network," which works to secure the escape of Daesh terrorists and their family members from Baghouz village in the eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr; the final piece of land still held by the Takfiri outfit.
The militants then help the fugitives reach SDF-controlled northern border areas near Turkey and receive "hefty bribes" in return, it added. The report claimed, however, that several members of the network have been arrested by SDF's "intelligence services," while others remain at large.
The monitoring group based its report on information obtained from sources inside Baghouz, the Kurdish-controlled areas and the Turkish territory.
