Simalka Crossing, Syria, Aug 19, 2019 (AFP) — The Kurdish authorities in northeast Syria Monday handed over four children linked with the Islamic State group to Germany in their first such repatriation to the European country, an official said.

He said three had lost both their parents, while a fatherless fourth was sick.
