Syria says has taken control of all bases previously operated by US forces

Syria on Thursday said it had taken control of all military bases previously hosting U.S. forces, who had long been in the country leading an international coalition against the Islamic State group.

The foreign ministry in a statement said it "welcomes the completed handover of military sites where United States forces were previously present in Syria to the Syrian government".

It added that "the handover of these sites was carried out... in full coordination between the Syrian and American governments".
