U.S. officials say two captive British alleged terrorists believed to be part of a group under ISIS that beheaded hostages have been taken into American custody and moved out of Syria.

President Donald Trump said on Oct. 9 that the United States had transferred some ISIS prisoners detained in Syria to an unknown location where they can be watched, amid fears they could escape custody as Turkish troops invade northeastern Syria.
