BREAKING- American ‘terrorist fighter’ deported

An American “terrorist fighter” has been deported to the U.S., the Turkish Interior Ministry said on Tuesday...

The ministry did not provide additional details about the suspect, his alleged crime or specifics on where he was sent, Dpa reports.

On Nov. 11, 2019, Turkey started sending back suspected Islamic State fighters to their home countries, with the first one a U.S. national.

According to state news agency Anadolu, recently, the Interior Ministry said 150 “foreign terrorist fighters” have been repatriated since November.

They included German, French and Australian suspects, as well as citizens of Greece, Denmark, Ireland, Belgium, Kosovo, and Morocco.

“Everyone will go back to their own countries.

"Turkey is neither an open-air prison nor a hotel for anyone,’’ ministry spokesman Ismail Catakli said recently.
