Turkey to extradite American IS suspect 'stranded on border'
14 November 2019
Turkey says it will extradite a US citizen suspected of being an Islamic State militant after he was refused entry to Greece and stranded on the border between the two countries.
The alleged militant will be extradited to the US.
He has been named by Turkey's Demiroren News Agency as Muhammed Darwis B and is said to be a US citizen of Jordanian descent.
Turkey is currently expelling a number of foreign Islamic State fighters.
The country's interior ministry said it had started the process of extraditing the man and the US had agreed to take him back.
