Hundreds of Daesh terrorists are headed towards Europe after secretly escaping war-torn Syria thanks to a deal struck between the terror group and the U.S.-backed Syrian Domestic Forces (SDF), which is mostly made up of the People's Protection Units (YPG) - the PKK's Syrian offshoot.
According to a report published on Tuesday by The Times, the controversial deal, which has heightened Europe's security woes, allowed hundreds of Daesh militants to escape Raqqa during civilians' evacuation, paving the way for the terrorists to enter mainland Europe via smuggling routes - a danger Turkey has warned Europe of on many occasions.
The Times also quoted an unnamed Turkish official, who said there had been a significant increase in the number of terrorists caught trying to cross the border into Turkey.
The Times report also included an interview with one of those arrested, Saddam al-Hamadi, 26, who said that hundreds of Daesh militants had taken advantage of the exodus of people during the deal to get to Turkey.
