According to information, the Foreign Department (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) is hoping that all female IS-terrorists with some sort of connection to Sweden who are still in camps in Syria and their children will be brought to Sweden by this summer.

The UD told the newspaper Bonnier Expressen that they are sending a delegation to the special prison camps for ISIS terrorists in NE Syria, and that they are meeting with the women and children with Swedish citizenship who are being held prisoner there.

"The families are extremely happy about this," says one of the women who traveled down there to fight for the Islamist caliphate to the newspaper.

According to information, the UD has held talks with the Kurdish authorities who are ruling over the area but have also taken DNA samples from the women and their children to confirm their identity. In addition to UD, a representative of the Center Against Violent Extremism and a pediatrician participated.

"The main purpose of the consular visit was to move farther in the process of establishing the identity of the foreign-born Swedish children and get a better picture of the children's health," they write in a statement.

This should be about 12 ISIS-women and 22 children who are said to have a "connection to Sweden" and will be picked up. Whether some of these actually have Sweden as their country of origin or come from non-European countries and received Swedish citizenship is not clear from the context.

One of the female terrorists that Expressen spoke with confirms that UD said that the families can be "back in Sweden" as early as the summer. Several of the children have never been in Sweden at all, rather only in the Islamic State or camps in Syria.

Already, several families have managed to "escape from the camps" and make it to Sweden. Till now, nobody has been convicted for their involvement in terrorist activity or the Islamic State's systematic murder of dissidents and religious minorities.

The Red Cross and Human Rights Watch claim that the environment in the prison camps is "harmful for children" and have, therefore, long demanded that Sweden and other countries should come and pick up women and their children.

UD does not want to answer whether it is clear that ISIS terrorists will actually soon be brought to Sweden, but are "awaiting information" from the Kurdish authorities in the region. They confirm, however, that they are preparing for such a solution.
