IS defectors held in northern Syria camp

The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ has learnt that dozens of foreigners who went to fight for so-called Islamic State are being held in a camp in northern Syria after defecting to other rebel groups. The camp was set up by Jaysh al-Tahrir, one of the rebel groups that forms part of the Free Syrian Army. Some of those being held have been allowed to return home to Europe. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ team in the region was not able to get into the camp, but has obtained material from inside. Dan Damon spoke to our correspondent Quentin Sommerville.
