(AP) German prosecutors said Monday a German woman who allegedly joined the Islamic State group in Syria was arrested upon her return to the country. She is accused of membership in a foreign terrorist group, war crimes against property and other crimes.
Federal prosecutors said in a written statement that the woman, identified only as Nurten J. in line with local privacy laws, was arrested Friday at Frankfurt Airport.
Prosecutors allege she traveled with her then-4-year-old daughter to Syria in 2015 to join IS. There, she married a man who had also come from Germany and they started a family.
