(Global News) Foreign fighters from countries including Canada were captured during an operation against ISIS in Afghanistan last November, according to a report to the United Nations Security Council.
The report said the Afghan security forces and Taliban had dealt a severe blow to the ISIS Khorasan group, or ISIL-K, displacing it from large parts of Nangarhar province, near the Pakistan border.
“More than 1,400 people surrendered to the Afghan authorities, including dependants of ISIL-K fighters,” the report said.
“Most males were Afghan nationals, but there were also foreign nationals from Azerbaijan, Canada, France, India, Maldives, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkey and Uzbekistan.”
