Iraq repatriates nearly 200 children of Turkish jihadists
BAGHDAD, May 29, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Iraq repatriated to Turkey on Wednesday
188 children of Turks accused of belonging to the Islamic State group, a
capital offence in Iraq, the judiciary said.
The move follows the repatriation to Tajikistan late last month of 84
children of nationals convicted by Iraqi courts of membership of IS or other
jihadist groups.
That came after dozens of children were flown to Russia and after France
and Germany repatriated the children of women nationals detained in Iraq.
