Chaotic scenes in Australia as three women linked to Islamic State return home to face crimes against humanity and terror charges. 

The women travelled with their partners to the Middle East more than a decade ago, and they say they wanted to come home for their Australian children. 

They may face court as early as today. 

Australian Correspondent Murray Olds told Mike Hosking a scuffle broke out at Melbourne Airport last night involving men wearing masks waiting for the women. 

He says their children face a tough time readjusting, as they will have seen things no child should ever see.
