ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey’s state-run media said an American man suspected of being an Islamic State group member remains in no man’s land on the border between Turkey and Greece for the fifth day. ADVERTISEMENTAnadolu Agency reported the man was seen Friday between Turkey’s Pazarkule border gate and the Greek frontier at Kastanies. On Thursday, Turkey’s Interior Ministry said repatriation was underway after the U.S. agreed to accept him and provided travel documents. The man has been waiting in the heavily militarized border zone since November 11. He initially asked to be sent to Greece from Turkey, but Athens refused to take him in.
