(AP) Four Albanian women and nine children, all related to Albanians who joined Islamist extremist groups fighting in Syria and Iraq, are being repatriated from a Syrian camp, a Kurdish official from northeast Syria said Friday.
Abdul-Karim Omar, an official who negotiates with countries on the return of their citizens, tweeted that “13 Albanians (4 women and 9 children) of the families of ISIS organization were handed over to an official Albanian government delegation.”
He also posted a photo with Albania’s anti-terror department chief Alban Dautaj.
The Albanian government did not confirm the report, but an official, speaking anonymously due to the sensitivity of the issue, said the repatriated Albanians were expected to land late Friday night.
