It seems some countries are beginning to relent and will accept a few of these Isis babies. They are the victims of the Islamic Holy War. For ones that are orphans like these Australian ones, it makes no sense to keep them in the brutal Syrian refugee camps any time longer. I am bit suprised by the indifference of the muslim countries as none of them has offerred to take even just one of these unfortunate babies, despite an Islamic scholar ppealing to them to do so, saying offering a home for these children is an Islamic duty.

Orphaned children of an Islamic State fighter who are being held in a Syrian refugee camp could soon be returned to Australia as political pressure continues to build.

The three children, aged between six and 12, were taken from Australia to Syriawhen their parents Yasin Rizvic and Fauzia Khamal Bacha joined the terrorist group in 2014.

Rizvic, from Bosnia, had been a senior figure at the Al-Furqan Islamic centre in Melbourne – which was often linked to radical extremism before its closure in 2015.

He died while fighting for the terrorist group in 2016. Bacha later died also, yet circumstances around her death are not known.

The young children have been stranded in the Kurdish-controlled al-Hawl refugee camp in western Syria since their parents were killed, ABC reported.

However, the children could soon be returned to Australia.

The Australian has reported three children, believed to be of Bosnian background, were likely to be the first children from the war to be returned home. 

It's unclear whether the orphans mentioned are Rizvic's children.  

Australian authorities have reportedly been working to move the children to Lebanon or Iraq, where they would meet with an Aust­ralian consular official before being flown to Melbourne.

Authorities have also been trying to locate relatives in Australia who could take the children, but it is understood the children do not have much in terms of extended family in the country. 

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton said the children shouldn't be made to suffer but stood firm on the government stance that no Australian official would be put in harm's way to extradite them from a conflict zone.

'When it comes to children, we will deal with each and every case on its merits, but in every single case we will be putting the security of Australians at the top of the list.'

Who was Yasin Rizvic?

Yasin Rizvic settled in Australia after fleeing war-torn Bosnia in 1990s

He was a close associate of Harun Mehicevic, the founder of the Al-Furqan Da'wah Centre in Melbourne

Rizvic is believed to have left Australia with his wife and children around 2014

Pressure has been mounting from the United States Government and the Syrian Democratic Forces to have citizens returned home as soon as possible. 

There are 40 surviving Australian women and children who were caught up in the bloody battle for Baghouz.

The three youngest children of notorious terrorist Khaled Sharrouf have also been kept at the refugee camp. 

The children have been pleading for help to return to Australia, however, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said that national security was his number one priority.

Zaynab, 17, Hoda, 16, and Humzeh, 8, were taken to Syria by their parents, who have since died.

Zaynab now has two toddler daughters and is heavily pregnant with a third child.

Mr Morrison said last month the government had been working with international aid workers to repatriate them.
