‘Not welcome’

-

Australia’s Prime Minister says he won’t put officials in danger by retrieving extremists from the Middle East after an Australian Isis (Islamic State) widow asked to bring her children home from a Syrian refugee camp. Prime Minister Scott Morrison told reporters that Australian­s who take their families to war zones to fight with Isis had to take responsibi­lity for their actions. His response came after the ABC interviewe­d the woman, 24, in one of the refugee camps in northern Syria where she has lived with her toddler son and malnourish­ed 6-month-old daughter since they fled the Syrian village battlegrou­nd of Baghouz.
