WASHINGTON, June 28 — US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said today that 10,000 Islamic State fighters continue to be held in detention in camps run by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), and that this situation was "untenable”.

Speaking at the opening of a meeting in Rome to renew international efforts to combat the Islamist militia, Blinken said Washington continued to urge countries, including the members of the coalition against Islamic State, to repatriate, rehabilitate or prosecute their citizens who had joined the group. — Reuters
