BERMAN: A week after Iraqi forces reclaimed Tikrit from ISIS, many families there are hesitant about returning to their homes. They fear ISIS fighters might not be out of that area completely. And now, these families are stranded in makeshift camps in Baghdad. CNN senior international correspondent Arwa Damon live in Baghdad this morning. Good morning, Arwa.</s>ARWA DAMON, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Good morning. Now, at this stage, the Iraqi government is not yet encouraging families to return. Not just because ISIS is still holding out in small pockets of the city, but also because ISIS booby-trapped roads and buildings that have still to be cleared of explosives. But when it comes to these families, they're not just afraid of the potential threat that ISIS might pose or whether or not Iraqi security forces can actually hold the city. They're also concerned about reprisal attacks coming from this Shia volunteer army that has been instrumental in winning back Tikrit, but there are concerns that some individuals within this volunteer army might carry out revenge attacks against those Sunni families. We also not just spoke to families from Tikrit but others who are living in these makeshift buildings, half-constructed homes. And they say that even though their particular areas were cleared three to four months ago, they're on the way to Tikrit. They haven't returned back home at this stage either because of the same concerns. They want guarantees from the Iraqi government that it is safe.</s>BERMAN: Arwa Damon for us in Baghdad this morning -- thanks so much, Arwa.</s>ROMANS: All right.
