    'Islamic State' convoy stranded with families in Syria desert 40336313_303
    A convoy of buses prepare to evacuate "Islamic State" militants and their families from Qara
    A 17-bus convoy of "Islamic State" (IS) fighters and their families has been stranded in the Syrian Desert, the US-led coalition against the militant group said in a statement circulated on Saturday.

    "The coalition has not struck the convoy. In accordance with the law of armed conflict, the coalition has struck ISIS fighters and vehicles, including a tank, armed technical vehicles and transport vehicles seeking to facilitate the movement of ISIS fighters to the border area of our Iraqi partners," the coalition said in a statement.

    As part of an agreement with the Syrian government and Lebanon's Shiite militant group Hezbollah, IS fighters were transferred from areas near the Lebanese-Syrian border to the group's stronghold near the Iraqi border.

    Shuttling a 'global threat'
    However, the US-led coalition and Iraqi authorities said they would not accept the terms of the deal, and have since blocked the convoy of hundreds of "Islamic State" fighters. It said it asked Russian authorities to communicate to the Syrian government that the coalition will not accept such maneuvers.

    "The coalition and our Iraqi partners were not a party to the agreement … to allow these experienced fighters to transit territory under the Syrian regime control to the Iraqi border," the statement said.

    "ISIS is a global threat; relocating terrorists from one place to another for someone else to deal with, is not a lasting solution."

    Making gains
    Backed by the US-led coalition, Iraq has made significant gains against the militant group over the past two months. It has dislodged the "Islamic State" militant group from Mosul and Tal Afar, a former transit hub along the group's strategic supply line between Syria and Iraq.

    The "Islamic State" rose to notoriety in 2014, when it launched a blitzkrieg campaign across Syria and Iraq, culminating in the occupation of Mosul and nearly one-third of Iraqi territory.

    Iraq-led forces have managed to reclaim more than 90 percent of the territory captured by the militant group.
