[size=52]France wants to try ISIS foreigners in Iraq and Washington sees the proposal as not responsible[/size]

[size=45]Translation: Hamed Ahmed
[size=45]Washington criticized a plan discussed by France that the trial of its prisoners of ISIS militants currently in Syria inside Iraq, calling it a plan "irresponsible."[/size]
[size=45]France, which referred to its citizens who joined the Islamic State terrorist group as enemies of the state, said they should be tried in the region where they committed crimes.[/size]
[size=45]Opinions differed on Thursday between the United States and its European allies over what they could do with dozens of foreign militants held in Syria, as Washington criticized a French proposal that it called irresponsible to prosecute ISIS militants in Syria inside Iraq to try to dissuade it.[/size]
[size=45]"The United States believes it is inappropriate to ask Iraq in particular to shoulder the burden of additional responsibility related to foreign ISIS militants, especially citizens of Europe," said Nathan Sills, coordinator of the State Department's Counterterrorism Department.[/size]
[size=45]"It would be irresponsible for every country that expects Iraq to solve that problem for them," Sills said. "We think there should be a sense of urgency to bring them home now as long as we can take over."[/size]
[size=45]For his part, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told European officials that the United States will work to bring foreign militants to account.[/size]
[size=45]"Coalition members must return thousands of detained foreign terrorists and hold them accountable and accountable for the crimes and atrocities they committed," Pompeo said.[/size]
[size=45]The US remarks could be seen as a blow to France, which has stepped up talks with Iraq over the prosecution and prosecution of foreign nationals.[/size]
[size=45]European countries, such as France and Britain, are refusing to receive fierce insurgents from their own nationals who belonged to ISIS, who in recent years planned a series of brutal attacks against civilians carried out on European soil.[/size]
[size=45]French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Laudrian, who referred to foreign ISIS militants of French nationality as the country's enemies, said his government was pushing for a "certainty permanent arrest" of the militants.[/size]
[size=45]"For our part, we will continue to say that they should be tried as much as possible within the areas where they have committed crimes," he said. We must not forget that the men and women who joined ISIS made this decision on their own free will to fight for a terrorist organization.[/size]
[size=45]Despite outstanding differences over the issue, senior officials from more than 30 countries pledged at the meeting in Washington a French proposal to strengthen cooperation in the fight against ISIS. France expressed deep concern over Trump's decision last month to withdraw US troops from Syria.[/size]
[size=45]This paved the way for Turkish military encroachment inside Syria against Syrian Kurdish forces allied to the United States to supervise the detention camps and camps that include militants from ISIS and their families.[/size]
[size=45]"US special forces will remain to ensure that ISIS does not return again," US Secretary of State Pompeo said. "The United States will continue to lead the coalition and the world in this vital security effort."[/size]
