White House: Turkey to begin military operation in Northern Syria

 07 Oct 2019 ( News Bureau )

American troops 'will no longer be in the immediate area' casting uncertainty on fate of their Kurdish allies.

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said following a call between President Trump and Turkish President Erdogan, Turkey is to take custody of foreign fighters captured in the US-led campaign against ISIL.

It was not clear whether that meant the US would be withdrawing its 1,000 or so troops completely from northern Syria.
