They declined to provide details or say whether they included two British militants who were moved out of a detention center in Syria and were now in U.S. custody, according to U.S. officials.
The two are believed to be part of an IS cell nicknamed “The Beatles” that beheaded foreign hostages in Syria.
The transfer of militants comes after the White House said Turkey will take over responsibility for the thousands of imprisoned fighters in Syria.
