MELBOURNE: An Australian mother of four was held in custody after she appeared in a court on Thursday charged with traveling to Syria and joining the Daesh group. Rayann El Houli, 34, was arrested at her Melbourne home eight months after she returned to Australia via Lebanon with her children and another woman, police and her lawyer said. The arrest came two days after seven women and 12 children linked to Daesh returned to Australia from a Syrian refugee camp against the wishes of the Australian government.

As the final group of so-called “ISIS brides” makes its way back to Australia, the identity of the woman who has been barred from returning can now be revealed.
