A group of American women and children captured with the Islamic State in Syria have been returned to the United States, the State Department and U.S.-backed Kurdish forces confirmed on Wednesday.
The group consisted of two women and six children, a Kurdish official in northern Syria told the Associated Press. The official said they were returned at the request of the U.S. government and based on their own desire to return"without any pressure or coercion." "This is a woman who inflicted enormous risk on American soldiers, on American citizens. She's a terrorist.

The identities of the individuals repatriated have been closely held. However, the New York Times interviewed Muthana, along with a dual U.S.-Canadian citizen named Kimberly Gwen Polman, at the al-Hawl camp in February. They said there was a Seattle family of four sisters with four children in a different camp. It's unknown if Polman or individuals from the Seattle family were part of the recent repatriations.
