al qaeda. at its peak, isis ruled over an estimated 10 million people in iraq and syria. enslaving women, performing sickening executions and exporting its reign of terror to the europe and the u.s. the group surrendered its last sliver of territory in syria. but there are still up to 18,000 isis members in iraq and syria, according to the pentagon's watchdog as well as tens of thousands of accused isis fighters and their families in prisons and camps. some unrepentent. at a camp last month, these women defended isis terror attacks. >> this is isis ideology. an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth. that's what it is. >> you are saying those terrorist attacks were an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth? >> basically. >> and therefore justified under islamic law? >> reporter: an american general told us last month in syria the fight is far from over. what's their plan?
