ISIS brides and their children play in the park and take a trip to Maccas and Kmart after being trapped in a Syrian detainment camp for years as it’s revealed the controversial group will NOT be monitored by police

• ISIS brides who returned to Sydney have been spotted visiting McDonald’s  
• Mariam Dabboussy visited the park and also is thought to have gone to Kmart
• The four brides are not expected to be monitored by authorities going forward

ISIS brides and their children have been allowed to visit Kmart and McDonald’s just 48 hours after returning to Australia – and they will not be monitored by police going forward. 

Four brides and their 13 children touched down in Sydney on Saturday morning after being removed from the al-Roj camp in Syria near the Iraqi border in an operation involving Australian officials and the Syrian Democratic Forces. 

Authorities were expected to mull over potential charges for the women but it has now been revealed they are unlikely to face police action, will not have to wear ankle monitoring bracelet and will also not be subject to 24 hour police supervision. 

Some of the women were spotted reuniting in a McDonalds in Punchbowl, south-west Sydney on Tuesday, while one, Mariam Dabboussy, also visited Kmart.

Dabboussy is the subject of voluntary orders but is not subject to strict terrorism control orders.

She is now back at her family home near Blacktown and has been spotted enjoying a visit to a park with her three children. 

In a 2019 interview, Bankstown-born Dabboussy previously said she was tricked into entering Syria in mid-2015 by her terrorist husband Kaled Zahab, who died shortly after they arrived.

Shayma Assaad, 22, and her four children are also believed to have returned to Sydney on Saturday, according to the Australian.

She was taken to Syria when she was just 15 and married to an older Islamic State member, Sydney tradie Mohammed Noor Masri, who remains in jail in Syria. 

Dabboussy’s sister-in-law, 31-year-old Mariam Raad, was also on Saturday’s plane home with her four children.

Raad is the widow of Muhammad Zahab, a former western Sydney maths teacher who became one of Australia’s most senior IS leaders.

He is accused of luring at least a dozen of his extended family to Syria, including brother Kaled.

In a statement, the women said: ‘We are deeply thankful to be back home in Australia with our children.

Earlier this month, the Albanese government confirmed a rescue plan to bring home 16 women and 42 children who are families of IS members from the camp

‘We want to express our regret for the trouble and hurt we have caused, especially to our families. We are willing to do whatever is asked of us by the government authorities to ensure the safety of our families and the Australian community and we will fully cooperate with all Australian law enforcement agencies.

‘Once our children have received medical treatment, are healthy, and are ready, we want to see them lead a normal and safe life in Australia, surrounded by friends and family. We also want to be able to contribute to the Australian community and are grateful for the opportunity to do so. 

‘Together with our children, we have been through a terrible ordeal over many years. We ask for space, privacy and time to heal and reconnect with our loved ones in Australia.’ 

They are the first Australians from ISIS to be repatriated from the Middle East since eight children and grandchildren of dead fighters in 2019.

Earlier this month, the Albanese government confirmed a rescue plan to bring home 16 women and 42 children who are families of IS members from the camp.

The first people removed were assessed as the most vulnerable of those being held.

The federal government worked with Kurdish authorities on the extraction, which reportedly included DNA testing the individuals to prove they were Australian citizens.

Most of the children were born in Syria, meaning they’ll be seeing Australia for the first time.

Aussie intelligence agencies believe that leaving Australians in squalid camps may present more of a threat to national security than bringing them back, as their plight could be used to recruit more Australian Muslims to join terror organisations.

Who is Mariam Dabboussy?

Mariam Dabboussy was not a devout Muslim, but her life changed at age 22 when she married Kaled Zahab.

The woman, who had been a childcare and migrant support worker in Sydney, went to the Middle East in mid-2015 with her husband and their 18-month-old child. 

Ms Dabboussy travelled to Lebanon with her husband only to be ‘tricked’ into going to Syria, she said. 

‘It started off as a normal holiday,’ Ms Dabboussy said.

‘My husband had never left the country at the time. So, it was the first time he had agreed to take me overseas. 

‘We had a really nice holiday planned. We went to Malaysia, took me to Dubai, we went to Lebanon.’  

Ms Dabboussy was initially taken from Lebanon to a house in southern Turkey near the Syria border.

From there, she was driven to a dusty patch of land. 

‘There was other people there and there was… there was a man there,’ she said. 

‘And he started telling us, ”Run before they shoot, Run before they start shooting.” And we didn’t know what was going on. 

‘I looked around, I’m thinking, ”What am I going to do?” I’m in the middle of nowhere, I don’t even know where I am. There’s gunshots. Now I just started running.’

She didn’t get far, with men bundling her into a car and taking her to a house, which had a black Islamic State flag.

‘When I entered that house and I saw a flag, I saw a flag and I sort of asked around,’ Ms Dabboussy said.

‘Some women, they spoke very broken Arabic, they didn’t really speak. They were sort of surprised I didn’t know what was going on. Some of them laughed at me.’ 

The man Ms Dabboussy married is now dead, after being killed by a coalition airstrike three months later. 

The mother-of-three has since been forced to remarry twice more.
