Syrian Kurdish rebels hand over 17 Indonesians to Jakarta

They were handed over on Tuesday, it said.
According to a UN estimate in March 2015, there were more than 25,000 foreign fighters in Islamic State and al-Qaeda from over 100 countries.
The US-backed Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) launched a military operation to retake al-Raqqa in November. The Syrian city is the de facto capital of Islamic State's self-styled caliphate.
The SDF reclaimed half of al-Raqqa from Islamic State in July.
