Civilians Evacuate Last ISIS Enclave in Syria
(AP) Sarah El Deeb - Hundreds of men, women and children were evacuated from the Islamic State's last enclave in Baghouz in eastern Syria on Wednesday, where 300 ISIS militants - many of them foreign fighters - have been under siege. A number of ISIS fighters hiding among the evacuating civilians were later arrested. Food and water have been running out in the pocket, with conditions so bad that at least 60 people previously evacuated subsequently died of malnutrition or exhaustion.
