US Military reports say a US citizen fighting for Daesh was captured by Kurdish soldiers in Syria and then handed over to American forces, APA reports quoting CNN.

A US military official told the outlet that the American citizen surrendered to the Kurdish forces of the SDF.

"We have seen those same reports and the SDF as our partner has taken an oath to make sure that any fighter that they capture that they maintain them and bring them to the proper authorities," Col. Ryan Dillon told reporters at the Pentagon during a video conference. "In this case the proper authorities would be the equivalent of the department of state in the country."

"If this was a US citizen it would be the Department of State to find out the updates on that particular person," Dillon added.

The current location of the US citizen has not been released.
