Families of ISIS members from Kosovo return to their country

Kosovo Justice Minister Abelard Tahiri said the efforts to return some Kosovo citizens to Kosovo from Syria were successful.

Hawar News Agency (ANHA) reported that the families of ISIS members from Kosovo were returned to Kosovo from Syria this morning via airplane.

The plane landed in Pristina Airport and the families of gang members were escorted by the police to a military barracks.

Kosovo Justice Minister Abelard Tahiri said the efforts to return some Kosovo citizens to Kosovo from Syria were successful and that they will be holding a press conference later in the day.

There are over 300 confirmed Kosovo citizens, including women and children, who went to Syria to join ISIS in 2012.

The investigations showed that some 60 of these gang members had definitively participated in clashes.

There are 150 women and children, including 60 children born during the war, who are still in SDF controlled areas.
