Australian women with IS links arrested upon arrival from Syrian detention camps
Three women and a group of 13 people with ties to Islamic State landed in Australia on Thursday after years in Syrian detention camps. Australian Federal Police arrested three women, Kawsar Abbas, Zeinab Ahmed, and Janai Safar, immediately upon arrival, with charges expected related to terrorism and slavery offenses. The women had spent over seven years detained in al-Roj camp after the collapse of the IS caliphate.
