It is believed up to a dozen Australians, most of whom flew to Syria to join militants fighting the al-Assad regime, found themselves in limbo after laying down their weapons but fearing they would be arrested under tougher counterterrorism laws if they returned to Australia.
The men, including two from Queensland and several from other states, claim they were duped into fighting with terror groups after IS took control of a range of militant outfits. Many foreign recruits have been dragooned into the IS rampage against Shi’ite Muslims after arriving to fight Syrian forces.
The US was and continues to aid groups fighting Assad. Seems quite reasonable to allow these people to return.
