Woman heads home after ordeal in Syria

A 54-year-old Argentine woman who was lured into war-wracked Syria two years ago on a marriage promise finally left for home. History teacher Nancy Roxana Papa had accepted the invitation of a Syrian man she had met online three years earlier and travelled to Turkey in 2016, before entering Syria.

She was immediately kidnapped by a gang who contacted her daughter to demand a ransom. She later escaped her captors and hid with various Syrian families. (AFP)
