(El País) Spain’s High Court, the Audiencia Nacional, has recently issued arrest warrants for four women who traveled to Syria in 2014 to join the Islamic State (ISIS).
All four are currently being held in two detention camps run by Kurdish militias in Syria, two sources close to the investigation have told El País.
Three of the women are Spanish nationals and the fourth is a Moroccan woman who was married to a jihadist with Spanish citizenship. He was killed in ISIS’ self-proclaimed caliphate. The latter woman has three children who hold Spanish nationality.
The four — who have a total of 17 children under their care, including a newborn — are wanted by several Spanish courts for “terrorism-related crimes,” according to police sources.
