FED:Returned 'ISIS bride' charged with terrorism offences

A woman linked to Islamic State has been charged with terrorism offences on her return to Australia.

Two groups of women, often referred to as "ISIS brides", and their children returned to Sydney and Melbourne in May after years of detention in Syria's Al Roj camp.

The camp is for families of killed or detained former Islamic State fighters.

The latest cohort, made up of six women and their children, landed in Australia on Tuesday.

The Australian Federal Police on Thursday said one female returnee had been charged with terrorism offences by officers attached to Operation Kurrajong.

The agency is due to provide more details at a media briefing.

Operation Kurrajong is a joint operation of the AFP, domestic spy agency ASIO, and state and territory police focused on investigating individuals alleged to have travelled to Syria during the reign of the Islamic State caliphate.
