The family of Australian ISIS fighter Khaled Sharrouf had cried and begged to go home to Australia after they were forced to stay in Syria. A Yazidi woman who was captured and enslaved by Sharrouf escaped and revealed the story.

Two women who escaped from Sharrouf said and another ISIS fighter Mohamed Elomar told ABC that the militants had raped and enslaved women. One of the women who called herself “Layla” said the children were threatening to kill them with knives while calling them infidels. The women revealed they were required to do anything the children asked.

Sharrouf rose to notoriety in 2014 when he posted a photo of his young son holding up a severed head on social media. ABC said it has acquired more pictures that show his children handling submachine guns and sitting next to assault rifles.

Aside from Layla, the other woman who escaped from the ISIS fighters was named Nazdar who knew about Sharrouf’s wife and children. She said Sharouff’s family had often talked about home. She said Sharrouf was not mentioning anything about home but his family often complained of not being able to live in Syria.

“They were crying and quarrelling and demanding to return to Australia,” Nazdar said. According to the two women, the Australian ISIS fighters had bought them from a slave market after they were captured in Iraq and taken into ISIS territory in Syria. Previous reports indicate that ISIS fighters sell “slave girls” for $2500 on Twitter.

The women also revealed they were taken by ISIS along with thousands of others. Nazdar said Sharouff had threatened to kill her. She was told that she was to marry Sharouff and if she refuses, she will be sold.

The ISIS fighter forbade the woman to say anything to his wife or risk dying. Layla claimed Sharouff had forced them to convert to Islam. The slave girls were also forbidden to show their sadness or tears. Both women have taken refuge in northern Iraq.

Meanwhile, Australia remains committed to root out extremists both at home and abroad. U.S. Secretary John Kerry has singled out Australia for the country’s contributions in the fight against terrorism. News.com.au reported that he is joined by Iraqi Prime Minister Hadier al-Abadi and officials from 20 other countries including Australia in a secret high security meeting in central London.
