Indonesia releases family detained for joining IS in Syria
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}An Indonesian family that spent nearly two years with the Islamic State group in Syria has denounced IS militants as interested only in power, money and sex in a video released by Indonesia's counterterrorism agency.
The family was detained at the agency's de-radicalization center near the capital, Jakarta, after returning to Indonesia in mid-August and was released on Wednesday.
In the video, family members described IS as rotten, a "crocodile hole" and hated by God.

They said they had expected an Islamic utopia when they traveled two years ago from Jakarta to IS's self-proclaimed capital but instead found brutality and terror.
