Islamic State group: Syria's Kurds call for international tribunal
26 March 2019
The Kurdish-led administration in northern Syria has called for the creation of an international tribunal to try thousands of suspected members of the Islamic State (IS) group.
One official, Abdul Karim Omar, told the BBC they were struggling to cope with the thousands who emerged from the last IS enclave of Baghuz, in the east.
Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) captured the village last week.
About 1,000 foreign fighters are among the thousands held by Kurds in camps.
US President Donald Trump hailed the capture of Baghuz last week, although he said the US would "remain vigilant" as the group remains a threat.
