On Monday, New Zealand announced it would accept a woman linked to the Islamic State group and her two children , after Australia cancelled the former dual national’s citizenship.
The New Zealand-born-woman–widely identified as Suhayra aden –moved to Australia at age six and was a dual national until Canberra stripped her of citizenship last year.
