(NZ Herald) A New Zealand woman named as an international terrorist by Turkish authorities is facing deportation, along with her two children, after being caught trying to leave Syria.
The Republic of Turkey’s Ministry of National Defence says the 26-year-old woman is an Islamic State terrorist.
“Three New Zealand nationals including an adult and two children were caught by our border guards in Hatay’s Reyhanlı district while trying to enter illegally from Syria,” a ministry statement said.
“The adult, a 26-year-old woman named S.A. was identified as a Daesh [ISIS] terrorist wanted with a ‘blue notice.’ The captured terrorist was handed over to the Reyhanli Public Prosecution Office.”
