Sources: U.S. forces may be given authority to capture ISIS terrorists

Washington (CNN)U.S. special operations forces headed into Iraq and Syria may be given authorities to capture ISIS terrorists, and interrogate them for intelligence, even though there is no current framework for where such individuals could be held and questioned, according to two U.S. officials.
