(CNN) The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) captured two Americans in Syria who are suspected of being ISIS fighters, the militia said in press release Sunday. The militia identified the men as Warren Christopher Clark (Abu Mohammad al-Ameriki) and Zaid Abed al-Hamid (Abu Zaid al-Ameriki). The SDF said Clark is originally from Houston, but it gave no specific location in the United States for the other man's origin. The Americans were captured in a group that also contained fighters from Ireland and Pakistan, SDF said. A Pentagon spokesman said the incident is under investigation.
