Daesh children return to Germany
The German Foreign Ministry said
Friday it had brought 10 people, including a woman and three children, of convicted
ISIS, aka Daesh, militants back to Germany from Iraq.
Among the first young returnees to Germany
were three children who arrived with their 31-year-old mother at Stuttgart
airport on Thursday, their lawyer Mahmut Erdem said in a statement.
Germany’s interior ministry suggested
on March 26 keep an eye on Islamists’ children under the age of 14 who risk
being indoctrinated by their parents.
Hans-Georg Engelke, the ministry’s
state secretary, said there is a “significant number” of minors who are now in
Syria and whose German parents are considered a security threat.
The German government told
parliament that 59 children, who are German nationals, detained along with
their families by the Syrian Democratic Forces in northern Syria.
