Turkey Starts Returning IS Fighters, Deports US National

Associated Press

   ANKARA - A U.S. national who is a member of the Islamic State group has
   been deported home, a Turkish official said Monday, as Ankara began
   repatriating captured foreign IS fighters.
   Turkish Interior Ministry spokesman Ismail Catakli told Turkey's
   state-run Anadolu Agency that a German and a Danish national would also
   be deported later on Monday while seven German nationals would be
   returned on Nov. 14.
   Cataki did not immediately provide further information on the IS
   suspects but said they were being held in deportation centers.
   "A foreign terrorist fighter from the United States has been deported
   from Turkey after the procedures were completed,"Anadolu quoted Catakli
   as saying.
   Turkey has over the past few weeks criticized Western nations,
   including Britain and the Netherlands, for refusing to take back their
   nationals who had joined the militant group and vowed to send back IS
   militants --even if their citizenship has been revoked.
