.

The parliamentary security and defense committee on Wednesday announced its position on the federal government's return of ISIS families from Al-Hol camp in Syria to The Jada camp in Nineveh province, saying the move was a time bomb.

 

MP Kataa Najman, a member of the parliamentary security and defense committee, said in a special statement to PUKmedia that several months ago the committee had its position rejecting the return of ISIS families from al-Hol camp in Syria to The Jada camp in Nineveh province.

 

"The return of any family from al-Hol camp to Iraqi territory poses a risk to the security and community reality in Iraq," he said, describing al-Hol camp as a time bomb whenever it is to be detonated.

 

Najman said the returning families could be exploited tools to sabotage Iraqi security, but the federal government has brought a group of families, women and children, into the Jada camp in Mosul.

 

A member of the parliamentary security and defense committee stressed that the committee's opinion is clear on this issue and that they are against it, pointing out that the federal government stated that it "took selected families and studied the history of these families, and that they may have reform," he said.

 

On the pressure of the committee, Ben Najman, that the role of the Security and Defense Committee is only supervisory, it is likely that this will be raised at the session of the House of Representatives headquarters on Thursday.
