AP: Turkey deports American ISIS suspect stuck at Greek border

AP reports from Ankara that an American man suspected of being a member of the Islamic State group is being repatriated to the United States after spending three days in a no man’s land between Turkey and Greece, according to Turkey’s Interior Ministry. The man was stuck in the heavily militarized border zone after Turkey tried to expel him to Greece on Monday but Athens refused him entry. Turkish media have identified him as 39-year-old Mohammad Darwis B. and said he was an American citizen of Jordanian background. The Ministry said Thursday the man had asked to be deported to a “third country” and elected Greece.
