About
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced a major milestone in the ongoing fight against ISIS this week. According to an Office of the Director of National Intelligence press release, nearly six thousand of the most dangerous ISIS detainees have been successfully transferred out of Syria and secured in Iraq. Gabbard's National Counterterrorism Center provided critical intelligence support and coordination for this operation, working with U.S. Central Command to execute the transfers.
The operation represents what officials are calling a significant achievement in dismantling ISIS and preventing the rapid reconstruction of the terrorist organization. National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent led two delegations to Baghdad and Syria to meet with Iraqi and Syrian counterterrorism leaders on the ground. These talks proved critical in securing an agreement between Iraq and Syria to ensure safe transfer of the detainees.
According to the intelligence agency, analysts at the National Counterterrorism Center's Operations Center in Washington worked around the clock with partners at U.S. Central Command, the office of the U.S. Special Envoy to Syria, and the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad to provide constant updates about the status of ISIS detainees. The operation was described as the direct result of President Trump's leadership and commitment to defeating ISIS.
In her statement about the transfer, Gabbard emphasized that the National Counterterrorism Center will remain vigilant to protect Americans at home and abroad. She noted that the intelligence center worked around the clock with the Departments of War and State to ensure the progress made to dismantle ISIS persists. Director Kent expressed gratitude to every officer who supported the analysis needed for the mission, stating that constant vigilance is essential for protecting American safety and security.
The successful coordination between multiple government agencies and international partners demonstrates the ongoing commitment to counterterrorism operations. This transfer operation was noted as being two administrations in the making, highlighting the sustained effort across different presidential administrations to address the ISIS threat.
