(Local) The seven young children of dead Isis fighter Michael Skråmo are being cared for by social services in Sweden, after being flown to Gothenburg from Iraq.
The children, aged between one and eight, were left orphaned after their father was killed in battle in the Syrian town of Baghouz in March. Their mother was also killed in early 2019.
Their grandfather fought to return the children to Sweden after their parents’ death, and after talks between the Swedish foreign ministry and the Kurdish al-Hol refugee camp in Syria, where the children stayed before being moved to Iraq, they arrived in Sweden on Wednesday.
Three of the children were born after Skråmo and their mother went to Syria to join militant Islamist group Isis, and the other four were born in Sweden.
