What is known about the IS-linked families about to arrive in Australia

Four women and nine children linked to Islamic State fighters arrive in Australia Thursday after Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke confirmed plane tickets were acquired. The group, including 54-year-old Kawsar Abbas and her daughters, spent years in Syria's al-Roj refugee camp. Australian Federal Police will arrest some women upon landing, while children face integration and deradicalization programs.
