Syria: Stranded ISIS convoy reaches Deir al-Zour

Deir al-Zour SYRIA
Buses carrying evacuated Islamic State terrorists and members of their families have reportedly reached IS-held territory in eastern Syria.

Syria's government allowed the convoy to travel across the country as part of a deal that saw the militants leave an enclave on the Syrian-Lebanese border.
But it was stranded in the desert for days after a US-led coalition vowed to stop it reaching Deir al-Zour province.
Activists said late on Wednesday that the buses had made it through.
Anti-IS coalition drones left the skies above the convoy on Friday, after conducting strikes that left craters in roads, destroyed bridges and targeting militants who fled.
The US-led coalition said it had ended its surveillance at the request of Russian officials to allow Syrian government and Russian forces "advance past" the convoy during their assault on Deir al-Zour and to "ensure safe de-confliction efforts to defeat" IS.
