Saudi FM demands wealthy countries take back IS nationals

Prince Faisal says it is disheartening and absolutely unacceptable that wealthy countries skirt their responsibility on taking back their citizens captured in the fight against the Islamic State.

RIYADH - Saudi Arabia's foreign minister said on Thursday it was "disheartening and absolutely unacceptable" that wealthy countries skirt their responsibility on taking back their citizens captured in the fight against the Islamic State.

"So I would say to those countries, you must step up, you must take up responsibilities, being part of a coalition means working together," Prince Faisal bin Farhan told a meeting of the US-led coalition in Riyadh.
