ISIS Bride's Return Sparks Terror Fears
23 Feb
Summary
- Former housemate fears ISIS bride Kirsty Rosse-Emile's return.
- Rosse-Emile expressed desire to 'make bombs' at 17.
- She married an ISIS fighter at 14 and later fled to Syria.
A former housemate is voicing grave concerns regarding the potential return of Kirsty Rosse-Emile, an Australian ISIS bride, to Australia. This individual vividly recalls Rosse-Emile, then known as Asma, expressing a desire to 'make bombs' at the age of 17. Rosse-Emile, along with her husband Nabil Kadmiry, relocated to Syria in 2014. Reports suggest she married Kadmiry, an ISIS fighter significantly older than her, at just 14 years old.
Rosse-Emile is now among eleven Australian women in Syrian refugee camps seeking to return home, having recently pleaded with the Australian government for repatriation. Her former housemate, however, warns against this, citing Rosse-Emile's past extremist statements and the potential security risks. The housemate remembers Rosse-Emile's comments about making bombs as a direct response to discussions about attending school, indicating a deep-seated ideology.
The couple's departure from Melbourne involved abrupt moves and outstanding debts, including unpaid rent to Sara. They were associated with the Al-Furqan Islamic study centre, which was later raided by counter-terrorism police, with some members joining IS in Syria. Rosse-Emile's father has stated she was not tricked into going to Syria and that the government should consider settling refugees in Muslim countries.
Rosse-Emile's father believes she wanted to live under Sharia law in a Muslim country. Meanwhile, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke confirmed one woman is subject to a temporary exclusion order. Rosse-Emile's father also disputes her claims of being deceived into going to Syria, emphasizing her commitment to Islam and fighting for Allah.
