(Swiss Info) The Swiss foreign ministry says it has “no definite information” on the whereabouts of two terror suspects who had been detained in northern Syria.
The two jihadists — originally from Geneva and Lausanne — have been missing since a rescue attack was launched in January by the Islamic State (IS) group on the jail in the Kurdish-controlled region of Syria where they had been held.
A third Swiss-originated fighter is seemingly still accounted for in detention, Swiss public broadcaster, SRF, reported on Wednesday.
The foreign ministry told SRF that they had some leads about where the missing pair might be, but that the intelligence was contradictory. As such, there is “no definite information” about their whereabouts, Consular Director Johannes Matyassy said.
