Brad Cooper

The provided articles do not mention anyone named Brad Cooper. Instead, they focus on the US military's actions in Syria and Iraq related to ISIS detainees and counter-terrorism efforts. The US has begun transferring ISIS detainees from northeastern Syria to Iraqi-controlled facilities due to the Syrian army's increasing control over previously Kurdish-held territory. This transfer involves moving potentially thousands of ISIS fighters. Simultaneously, the US has conducted retaliatory strikes in Syria, targeting leaders affiliated with al-Qaeda who were connected to an ISIS ambush that killed American personnel. These strikes aim to prevent the resurgence of ISIS and maintain regional security. The US is also consolidating its troop presence in the region, including a withdrawal from a major airbase in Iraq, citing progress against ISIS. The US is urging de-escalation as the Syrian army advances on Kurdish-held territory.
