Syrian refugee on trial for recruiting for Islamic State

(Breitbart) A female asylum seeker is on trial in Germany after being accused of actively recruiting new members for Islamic State.

The 37-year-old woman has been accused by a Dresden court of campaigning for the terrorist group in order to secure new members. She was arrested in October last year and sentenced for prior offences relating to the terror group in November, broadcaster MDR reports.

The attorney-general claims that the Syrian, who is a recognised refugee in Germany, was particularly active in recruiting for the radical Islamic terror group over the summer of 2016 and the summer of the following year.

The woman is just the latest individual in Germany to come before a court accused of recruiting for the terror organisation.
