Two women identify their children among surrendered ISIS terrorists in Afghanistan

Thiruvananthapuram/IBNS: Two women have recognised their children among the ISIS terrorists who surrendered in Afghanistan a few days ago, an NDTV report said.

One of the women, Bindu Sampath, who lives in Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram, identified her daughter, son-in-law and grandson in a picture shown by the National Investigating Agency(NIA), the report said.

The son-in-law's mother, Gracy Thomas, too, recognised her son in the picture from "his hands... his forehead", the NDTV report said.

Gracy lives in Pollachi in Tamil Nadu

Both women hoped that their children returned home.

"From the pictures I have identified my son-in-law and granddaughter. My granddaughter is sitting on the lap of a lady who is covered with a veil. And I'm sure that if she is sitting on a lady's lap then it will be my daughter Chinnu (Fathima) only," Bindu Sampath was quoted as saying by NDTV.

Fathima, who was known as Nimisha before converting to Islam, left to join ISIS three years ago, with her husband Isha, formerly known as Brexin.

"I just had to see the picture to recognise my son. His hands, the manner in which the nerve is showing on the back of his palm, his forehead... clearly proves he is Bexin," NDTV quoted Gracy Thomas.

Bindu Sampath said she could identify her daughter, son-in-law and their son as they had been sending voice messages and pictures, which helped her to identify them. "I have communicated these details to the NIA... They have taken this seriously and they have given to the right sources," she told NDTV.
