Thirteen women and children have landed in Australia after being detained for more than seven years in Syrian detention camps following the fall of Islamic State.

One of the women, Janai Safar, was taken into custody by Australian federal police officers shortly after she and her child landed in Sydney from Doha on Thursday evening.

Passengers who were on the flight said they saw four officers board the plane and escort three people, including a man, woman, and child, off the plane.
