U.S.-Backed Forces in Syria Battle to Regain Control of ISIS Prison
(Washington Post) Louisa Loveluck - The U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces said Sunday they were still fighting to regain control of the largest prison for Islamic State detainees in Hasakah after a three-day standoff. ISIS attacked the SDF with two car bombs that sparked a prison break on Thursday. The SDF said at least 160 ISIS militants and 27 of its members had been killed in the fighting.
