Hundreds of corpses of Islamic State fighters remain stored in freezers in Libya, as that nation’s government negotiates the return of the bodies to the fighters’ home countries, a report said.
Most of the dead, shipped to a morgue in Misrata, Libya, were killed in December when Libyan forces defeated ISIS in a battle at Sirte, on Libya’s Mediterranean coast, Reuters reported.
In many cases, the fighters’ home countries – including Egypt and Sudan – have been reluctant to accept the remains because their arrival would help reveal how many of their citizens left to fight as ISIS jihadists, according to Reuters.

I'm curious how many Isis fighters are/were from the USA. James Comey said there were 250 confirmed cases, but Sweden, with a population of only 10 million people, has had 150 Isis fighters return to Sweden since the start of the year. Which means that there's probably many more still fighting.
Sweden is actually helping returned Isis fighters, giving them new identifications (good luck tracking them) and welfare benefits.
