France brings back women terrorism suspects and children from Syria camps

France has repatriated 16 female terrorism suspects and 35 children from refugee camps in the north east of Syria, the country's anti-terrorism prosecutor said on Tuesday.

The women, aged between 22 and 39, had been handed over to judicial authorities, the prosecutor said.

Fourteen of the women were French citizens and the other two were mothers of French citizen children. Most of the children were repatriated with their mothers, but seven had been found in the camps on their own.
