KUALA LUMPUR: A Terengganu-born woman, her five-year-old daughter and two-year-old son are the first Malaysians to be repatriated from Syria on Oct 6, said Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun (pic).

The Inspector-General of Police said the 31-year-old woman, who wanted to be known as Aisyah, was keen to return after her Malaysian husband died while fighting with the Islamic State (IS) in February.
