Three Australian women arrested at Melbourne and Sydney airports after return from Syria
Three Australian women linked to ISIL have been arrested after arriving at airports in Melbourne and Sydney, according to the supplied report.
The arrests were made on allegations involving slavery and terrorism.
The women were among four women and nine children who arrived from Syria after spending years in al-Roj Camp near the border between Syria and Iraq.
The report says the arrests took place at the airports on arrival.
No injuries or wider disruption were reported in the supplied material.
The immediate focus appears to be on the criminal allegations and the return of the group to Australia.
The case matters because it combines counter-terrorism concerns with allegations linked to ISIL and the movement of Australian nationals out of a camp in north-eastern Syria.
It also raises questions about how authorities handle the return of people associated with the group.
The supplied material does not say which agencies carried out the arrests, what charges may follow, or whether the children were involved in any police action.
