With the signed document in his possession, Ahmad was suddenly able to move freely in the region with the twins’ mother.

Ahmad says the document only gave them freedom of movement within the ISIS borders and that their journey home took place without with the help of ISIS but rather using local contacts and cover stories.

The family, on the other hand, says it was the Islamic State that arranged Ahmad’s and the mother’s trip home.

Everyone agree, however, that the two were driven to the town of Jarubulus, where they boarded a bus that took passengers to the Turkish border.

“Darkness fell, and at the border we had to wait half an hour to see if there were police on the other side. Finally we crossed the border in groups of four. On the other side there were two white delivery vans without lights and with their engines switched off. They took us to the bus station at Gaziantep in Turkey,” Ahmad says.

The following day, the Danish embassy in Ankara advanced the couple money for their airline tickets, and when Ahmad finally landed at Copenhagen Airport on Sept. 12, the terror finally began to subside.

Ahmad is now back in Denmark.

The twins are reportedly still living within ISIS-held territor in Syria. Recently, one of the girls tweeted a picture of a red kitten lying on the chest of a man in fatigues. The 16-year-old girl was seemingly upset that the cat had run away.

God willing "we will be reunited" in paradise, she wrote, signing off with a tearful emoji and a heart.
