ISIS terrorists have been released from prisons, according to the Syrian government. As we read in the New York Times:

Clashes erupted on Monday around two prisons in northeastern Syria holding members of the terrorist group Islamic State, according to Kurdish officials, a day after a Kurdish-led militia agreed to hand over control of the prisons to the Syrian government.

That agreement between the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, or S.D.F., and the central government ended weeks of deadly clashes between the two sides. The S.D.F. agreed to merge fully into the national military and hand over control of security infrastructure — including prisons housing about 8,000 Islamic State detainees — to the government.

But the clashes around two of those prisons on Monday underscored the fragility of that deal. Within hours, both the government and the S.D.F. accused each other of trying to derail the agreement.

The government accused the S.D.F. of releasing Islamic State detainees from al-Shaddadi prison in Hasakah Province and of exploiting the security threat posed by those detainees for political gains, according to state media.

“The Syrian government firmly rejects attempts to use terrorism as a security blackmail,” according to a statement published by SANA, the government news agency.

By Monday evening, Syrian officials said they had taken control of al-Shaddadi prison and were combing the area in an effort to rearrest the released prisoners. It was not immediately clear how many prisoners had been freed.

The S.D.F., in turn, accused armed groups “affiliated” with those in power in Damascus, the capital, of attacking the prison in early Monday morning, without identifying the attackers more specifically.
