Jihad wives want home

DETAINED after fleeing the Islamic State group’s crumbling Syrian holdout, two women from France say they are ready to go home.

About 500 foreign women have come to the Al-Hol camp in recent months, after being picked up by US-backed forces near villages they have taken one by one from the jihadists.

One of the women said: “We’re not animals. We’re human beings. We have a heart, we have a soul.”

France is reluctant to bring back women and children thought to have been with IS.
